[PATCH linux-next] mm/hugetlb: fix warning inalloc_huge_page/dequeue_huge_page_vma

[Konstantin Khlebnikov]

This patch fixes gcc warning (and bug?) introduced in linux-next commit cc9a6c877
("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3")

Local variable "page" can be uninitialized if nodemask from vma policy does not
intersects with nodemask from cpuset. Even if it wouldn't happens it's better to
initialize this variable explicitly than to introduce kernel oops on weird corner case.

mm/hugetlb.c: In function âalloc_huge_pageâ:
mm/hugetlb.c:1135:5: warning: âpageâ may be used uninitialized in this function
