3.8.13.16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mel Gorman <[email protected]> commit 5a6dac3ec5f583cc8ee7bc53b5500a207c4ca433 upstream. If the PMD is flushed then a parallel fault in handle_mm_fault() will enter the pmd_none and do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() path where it'll attempt to insert a huge zero page. This is wasteful so the patch avoids clearing the PMD when setting pmd_numa.
