Hugepage bugfix

[David Gibson]

Andrew, please apply:

Currently the hugepage code stores the hugepage destructor in the
mapping field of the second of the compound pages.  However, this
field is never cleared again, which causes tracebacks from
free_pages_check() if the hugepage is later destroyed by reducing the
number in /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages.  This patch fixes the bug by
clearing the mapping field when the hugepage is freed.
