[PATCH] Fix crash when ptrace poking hugepage areas

set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of
a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page. This case
can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another
process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang).

This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from
access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page. We already use a
similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to
hugepages.
