3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horigu...@ah.jp.nec.com>
commit 783657a7dc20e5c0efbc9a09a9dd38e238a723da upstream.
When we try to soft-offline a thp tail page, put_page() is called on the
tail page unthinkingly and VM_BUG_ON is triggered in put_compound_page().
This patch splits thp before going into the main body of soft-offlining.
