Mel Gorman 23be7468e8 hugetlb: fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() when backed by huge pages
If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.

This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE.  This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex.  No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.

This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.
