alloc_hugetlb_page() fails to kmap() memory while zeroing

alloc_hugetlb_page() fails to kmap() memory while zeroing

[William Lee Irwin III]

This patch makes alloc_hugetlb_page() kmap() the memory it's zeroing,
and cleans up a tiny bit of list handling on the side. Without this
fix, it oopses every time it's called.
