Merge VM fixes from High Dickins:
 "I get the impression that Andrew is away or busy at the moment, so I'm
  going to send you three independent uncontroversial little mm fixes
  directly - though none is strictly a 4.8 regression fix.

   - shmem: fix tmpfs to handle the huge= option properly from Toshi
     Kani is a one-liner to fix a major embarrassment in 4.8's hugepages
     on tmpfs feature: although Hillf pointed it out in June, somehow
     both Kirill and I repeatedly dropped the ball on this one.  You
     might wonder if the feature got tested at all with that bug in:
     yes, it did, but for wider testing coverage, Kirill and I had each
     relied too much on an override which bypasses that condition.

   - huge tmpfs: fix Committed_AS leak just a run-of-the-mill accounting
     fix in the same feature.

   - mm: delete unnecessary and unsafe init_tlb_ubc() is an unrelated
     fix to 4.3's TLB flush batching in reclaim: the bug would be rare,
     and none of us will be shamed if this one misses 4.8; but it got
     such a quick ack from Mel today that I'm inclined to offer it along
     with the first two"
