Tom Hromatka 9ae34dbd8a sparc64: Fix kernel panic due to erroneous #ifdef surrounding pmd_write() 
This commit moves sparc64's prototype of pmd_write() outside
of the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE ifdef.

In 2013, commit a7b9403f0e ("sparc64: Encode huge PMDs using PTE
encoding.") exposed a path where pmd_write() could be called without
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE defined.  This can result in the panic below.

The diff is awkward to read, but the changes are straightforward.
pmd_write() was moved outside of #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.
Also, __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE was defined.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
