[PATCH] mm/huge_memory: Clean up typo when updating mmu cache

[PATCH] mm/huge_memory: Clean up typo when updating mmu cache

[Hillf Danton]

Hi Andrea

There are three cases of update_mmu_cache() in the file, and the case in
function collapse_huge_page() has a typo, namely the last parameter used,
which is corrected based on the other two cases.

Due to the define of update_mmu_cache by X86, the only arch that implements
THP currently, the change here has no really crystal point, but one or two
minutes of efforts could be saved for those archs that are likely to support
THP in future.

Thanks

Yes, like the previous one, they make no runtime difference today, but
they may save some debug time to who's porting THP to some other arch
in the future, so it's good to clean this up, thanks.
