Subject: hugetlbfs: fix a truncation issue in hugepages parameter

When we specify a large number for node in hugepages parameter, it may be
parsed to another number due to truncation in this statement:

	node = tmp;

For example, add following parameter in command line:

	hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4294967297:5

and kernel will allocate 5 hugepages for node 1 instead of ignoring it.

I move the validation check earlier to fix this issue, and slightly
simplifies the condition here.
