Dang, we both discovered this over the weekend? :)

In related news, it looks like update_mmu_cache_pmd should
probably use haddr, too...

Subject: mm,numa: make THP migration mmu calls use haddr

The THP NUMA migration function migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page makes
several calls into the architecture specific MMU code. Those calls all
expect the virtual address of the huge page boundary, not the fault
address from somewhere inside the huge page.

This fixes the below bug.
