Thanks!  That really should be 'index' and not 'm_index'.  The variable
m_index was used in a previous version of the code and should have been
deleted.  Depending on the uninitialized value of m_index, this could
cause long delays as the called routine checks the range m_start to m_index.

Andrew, how would you like to address in your tree?  The following patch
can be applied on top of the original (next commit fcc0d3d00d74 "hugetlb:
handle truncate racing with page faults").  Or, I could squash and
resend the original, or resend the entire series.

Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: fix/remove uninitialized variable in
 remove_inode_hugepages

Code introduced for the routine remove_inode_hugepages by patch "hugetlb:
handle truncate racing with page faults", incorrectly uses a variable
m_index.  This is a remnant from a previous version of the code when
under development.  Use the correct variable 'index' and remove
'm_index' from the routine.
