3.19.8-ckt20 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Dominik Dingel <dingel@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 2531c8cf56a640cd7d17057df8484e570716a450 upstream.

s390 has a constant hugepage size, by setting HPAGE_SHIFT we also change
e.g. the pageblock_order, which should be independent in respect to
hugepage support.

With this patch every architecture is free to define how to check
for hugepage support.
