Subject: mm/hugetlb: use pmd_page() in follow_huge_pmd()
commit 61f77eda "mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around
follow_huge_*" broke follow_huge_pmd() on s390, where pmd and pte layout
differ and using pte_page() on a huge pmd will return wrong results.
Using pmd_page() instead fixes this.
All architectures that were touched by commit 61f77eda have pmd_page()
defined, so this should not break anything on other architectures.
