Subject: hugetlbfs: fix bug in pgoff overflow checking

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).
