[PATCH v2 20/25] mm: Make prep_transhuge_page return its argument

[Matthew Wilcox]

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

By permitting NULL or order-0 pages as an argument, and returning the
argument, callers can write:

	return prep_transhuge_page(alloc_pages(...));

instead of assigning the result to a temporary variable and conditionally
passing that to prep_transhuge_page().
