Yu Zhao 3cde287bb4 mm/memory.c: replace is_zero_pfn with is_huge_zero_pmd for thp
For hugely mapped thp, we use is_huge_zero_pmd() to check if it's zero
page or not.

We do fill ptes with my_zero_pfn() when we split zero thp pmd, but this
is not what we have in vm_normal_page_pmd() -- pmd_trans_huge_lock()
makes sure of it.

This is a trivial fix for /proc/pid/numa_maps, and AFAIK nobody
complains about it.

Gerald Schaefer asked:
: Maybe the description could also mention the symptom of this bug?
: I would assume that it affects anon/dirty accounting in gather_pte_stats(),
: for huge mappings, if zero page mappings are not correctly recognized.

I came across this while I was looking at the code, so I'm not aware of
any symptom.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
