Subject[PATCH 1/3] shmem: fix tmpfs to handle the huge= option properly
From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

shmem_get_unmapped_area() checks SHMEM_SB(sb)->huge incorrectly,
which leads to a reversed effect of "huge=" mount option.

Fix the check in shmem_get_unmapped_area().

Note, the default value of SHMEM_SB(sb)->huge remains as
SHMEM_HUGE_NEVER. User will need to specify "huge=" option to
enable huge page mappings.
