I guess that nobody reported this because if someone really wants to
share he will use aligned address for mmap/shmat and so the index is 0.
Anyway it is worth fixing. Thanks for pointing out!

You can use linear_hugepage_index directly and remove the idx
initialization as well.

Why not just fixing page_table_shareable as well rather than playing
tricks like this?
