Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: set PTE as huge in hugetlb_change_protection and
 remove_migration_pte

commit be7517d6ab9722f0abad6ba5ffd39cfced95549c upstream.

When setting a huge PTE, besides calling pte_mkhuge(), we also need to
call arch_make_huge_pte(), which we indeed do in make_huge_pte(), but we
forget to do in hugetlb_change_protection() and remove_migration_pte().
