I still want to see a better explanation of the performance impact of
this change as previously stated.  However, I did take a closer look at
the actual code changes and could not find any issues.  One suggestion
noted below.

The code is correct, but when looking at this it 'appears' wrong to have
start and end in different size units.  start is only used in the statement:

	if (truncate_op)
		(void)hugetlb_unreserve_pages(inode, start, LONG_MAX, freed);

So, to avoid confusion it might be better getting rid of start and code the
above as:

	if (truncate_op)
		(void)hugetlb_unreserve_pages(inode,
					      lstart >> huge_page_shift(h),
					      LONG_MAX, freed);
