Thanks James!

Code looks correct.  One observation below, but I do not suggest changing.

That looks a bit silly as we are know truncate_error_page() is a noop and call
it anyway.  I suppose we could just set 'res = MF_RECOVERED'.  However, it
really should be left as is in case more non-hugetlb functionality is added to
truncate_error_page() in the future.
