hugetlb: call mmu notifiers on hugepage cow
When a copy-on-write occurs, we take one of two paths in handle_mm_fault:
through handle_pte_fault for normal pages, or through hugetlb_fault for
huge pages.
In the normal page case, we eventually get to do_wp_page and call mmu
notifiers via ptep_clear_flush_notify. There is no callout to the mmmu
notifiers in the huge page case. This patch fixes that.
