Subject: mm: migrate: hugetlb: putback destination hugepage to active list
Since commit bcc54222309c ("mm: hugetlb: introduce page_huge_active") each
hugetlb page maintains its active flag to avoid a race condition betwe= en
multiple calls of isolate_huge_page(), but current kernel doesn't set the
f= lag on a hugepage allocated by migration because the proper putback
routine isn= 't called. This means that users could still encounter the
race referred to by bcc54222309c in this special case, so this patch fixes
it.
