Punit Agrawal 9386fac34c mm/hugetlb: allow architectures to override huge_pte_clear()
When unmapping a hugepage range, huge_pte_clear() is used to clear the
page table entries that are marked as not present.  huge_pte_clear()
internally just ends up calling pte_clear() which does not correctly
deal with hugepages consisting of contiguous page table entries.

Add a size argument to address this issue and allow architectures to
override huge_pte_clear() by wrapping it in a #ifndef block.

Update s390 implementation with the size parameter as well.

Note that the change only affects huge_pte_clear() - the other generic
hugetlb functions don't need any change.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
