commit fe1668ae5b causes kernel to oops with
libhugetlbfs test suite. The problem is that hugetlb pages can be shared
by multiple mappings. Multiple threads can fight over page->lru in the
unmap path and bad things happen. We now serialize __unmap_hugepage_range
to void concurrent linked list manipulation. Such serialization is also
needed for shared page table page on hugetlb area. This patch will fixed
the bug and also serve as a prepatch for shared page table.
