Subject: sparc64: Fix kernel panic due to erroneous #ifdef surrounding pmd_write()
From: Tom Hromatka <tom.hromatka@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9ae34dbd8afd790cb5f52467e4f816434379eafa ]
This commit moves sparc64's prototype of pmd_write() outside
of the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE ifdef.
In 2013, commit a7b9403f0e6d ("sparc64: Encode huge PMDs using PTE
encoding.") exposed a path where pmd_write() could be called without
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE defined. This can result in the panic below.
The diff is awkward to read, but the changes are straightforward.
pmd_write() was moved outside of #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.
Also, __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE was defined.
