This is a fix for a regression in 32 bit kernels caused by an
invalid check for pgoff overflow in hugetlbfs mmap setup. The
check incorrectly specified that the size of a loff_t was the
same as the size of a long. The regression prevents mapping
hugetlbfs files at offsets greater than 4GB on 32 bit kernels.
On 32 bit kernels conversion from a page based unsigned long can
not overflow a loff_t byte offset. Therefore, skip this check
if sizeof(unsigned long) != sizeof(loff_t).
