[PATCH] Fix crash when ptrace poking hugepage areas
set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page. This case can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang). This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page. We already use a similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to hugepages.
