Revert "Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regions"
This reverts commit a425a638c858fd10370b573bde81df3ba500e271. Now that the previous commit removed the "readpage" actor for hugetlb files, read-ahead will no longer mess up the mapping, and there's no longer any reason to treat hugetlbfs mappings specially. Tested-and-acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
