[PATCH] vmalloc fix

[Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>]

Hi,

Paul wrote a patch to use some of the rmap infrastructure to flush TLB
entries on ppc64. When testing it we found a problem in vmalloc where it
sets up the pte -> address mapping incorrectly. We clear the top bits of
the address but then forget to pass in the full address to
pte_alloc_kernel. The end result is the address in page->index is
truncated.

I fixed it in a similar way to how zeromap_pmd_range etc does it. Im
guessing no one uses the rmap hooks on vmalloc pages yet, so havent seen
this problem.

Anton
