[ 08/42] hugetlbfs: stop setting VM_DONTDUMP in initializing vma(VM_HUGETLB)

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a2fce9143057f4eb7675a21cca1b6beabe585c8b upstream.

Currently we fail to include any data on hugepages into coredump,
because VM_DONTDUMP is set on hugetlbfs's vma.  This behavior was
recently introduced by commit 314e51b9851b ("mm: kill vma flag
VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter").

This looks to me a serious regression, so let's fix it.
