From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 97534127012f0e396eddea4691f4c9b170aed74b upstream.

Commit 61f77eda9bbf ("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 that commit have pmd_page()
defined, so this should not break anything on other architectures.

Fixes: 61f77eda "mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_*"
