3.8.13.16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mel Gorman <[email protected]> commit b0943d61b8fa420180f92f64ef67662b4f6cc493 upstream. THP migration can fail for a variety of reasons. Avoid flushing the TLB to deal with THP migration races until the copy is ready to start.
