powerpc/mm: Fixup preempt underflow with huge pages
commit 08a5bb2921e490939f78f38fd0d02858bb709942 upstream. hugepd_free() used __get_cpu_var() once. Nothing ensured that the code accessing the variable did not migrate from one CPU to another and soon this was noticed by Tiejun Chen in 94b09d755462 ("powerpc/hugetlb: Replace __get_cpu_var with get_cpu_var"). So we had it fixed. Christoph Lameter was doing his __get_cpu_var() replaces and forgot PowerPC. Then he noticed this and sent his fixed up batch again which got applied as 69111bac42f5 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses"). The careful reader will noticed one little detail: get_cpu_var() got replaced with this_cpu_ptr(). So now we have a put_cpu_var() which does a preempt_enable() and nothing that does preempt_disable() so we underflow the preempt counter.
