hugetlb: fix lockdep error



=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.26-rc4 #30
---------------------------------------------
heap-overflow/2250 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->page_table_lock){--..}, at: [<c0000000000cf2e8>] .copy_hugetlb_page_range+0x108/0x280

but task is already holding lock:
 (&mm->page_table_lock){--..}, at: [<c0000000000cf2dc>] .copy_hugetlb_page_range+0xfc/0x280

other info that might help us debug this:
3 locks held by heap-overflow/2250:
 #0:  (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<c000000000050e44>] .dup_mm+0x134/0x410
 #1:  (&mm->mmap_sem/1){--..}, at: [<c000000000050e54>] .dup_mm+0x144/0x410
 #2:  (&mm->page_table_lock){--..}, at: [<c0000000000cf2dc>] .copy_hugetlb_page_range+0xfc/0x280

Fix is the same way that mm/memory.c copy_page_range does the
lockdep annotation.
