[PATCH] Hugepages need clear_user_highpage() not clear_highpage()
When hugepages are newly allocated to a file in mm/hugetlb.c, we clear them with a call to clear_highpage() on each of the subpages. We should be using clear_user_highpage(): on powerpc, at least, clear_highpage() doesn't correctly mark the page as icache dirty so if the page is executed shortly after it's possible to get strange results.
