3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
commit 750e8165f5e87b6a142be953640eabb13a9d350a upstream.
Occasionally we hit the BUG_ON(pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) at the end of __split_huge_page_pmd(): seen when doing madvise(,,MADV_DONTNEED).
It's invalid: we don't always have down_write of mmap_sem there: a racing do_huge_pmd_wp_page() might have copied-on-write to another huge page before our split_huge_page() got the anon_vma lock.
Forget the BUG_ON, just go back and try again if this happens.
