[PATCH 1/1] mm/hugetlb: fix memory offline with hugepage size > memory block size

[Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>]

dissolve_free_huge_pages() will either run into the VM_BUG_ON() or a
list corruption and addressing exception when trying to set a memory
block offline that is part (but not the first part) of a gigantic
hugetlb page with a size > memory block size.

When no other smaller hugepage sizes are present, the VM_BUG_ON() will
trigger directly. In the other case we will run into an addressing
exception later, because dissolve_free_huge_page() will not use the head
page of the compound hugetlb page which will result in a NULL hstate
from page_hstate(). list_del() would also not work well on a tail page.

To fix this, first remove the VM_BUG_ON() because it is wrong, and then
use the compound head page in dissolve_free_huge_page().
