From: Toshi Kani <toshi.k...@hpe.com>

shmem_get_unmapped_area() checks SHMEM_SB(sb)->huge incorrectly,
which leads to a reversed effect of "huge=" mount option.

Fix the check in shmem_get_unmapped_area().

Note, the default value of SHMEM_SB(sb)->huge remains as
SHMEM_HUGE_NEVER.  User will need to specify "huge=" option to
enable huge page mappings.
