mm: fix potential infinite loop in dissolve_free_huge_pages()
It is possible for some platforms, such as powerpc to set HPAGE_SHIFT to
0 to indicate huge pages not supported.
When this is the case, hugetlbfs could be disabled during boot time:
hugetlbfs: disabling because there are no supported hugepage sizes
Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for
64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn <
end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order)
As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before
calling dissolve_free_huge_pages().
[rientjes@google.com: no legitimate reason to call dissolve_free_huge_pages() when !hugepages_supported()]
