[PATCH] mm/memory: Avoid unnecessary kernel/user pointer conversion

[Amit Daniel Kachhap <amit.kachhap@arm.com>]

Annotating a pointer from __user to kernel and then back again might
confuse sparse. In copy_huge_page_from_user() it can be avoided by
removing the intermediate variable since it is never used.
