fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing
As far as I can tell there is no reason to allocate the memory on a
fixed address to trigger this bug but it should be easy enough to check
if the test fails on a kernel that has the two lines this patch adds
commented before and after the change it test.
That commit was merged in v2.6.24, it too old kernel and
changes a lot in the two lines, I guess it is not easy to test
a kernel with revert that patch.
Also can we pretty please add the commit hash to the test metadata?
