[PATCH] hugetlb: check for brk() entering a hugepage region 

Unlike mmap(), the codepath for brk() creates a vma without first checking
that it doesn't touch a region exclusively reserved for hugepages.  On
powerpc, this can allow it to create a normal page vma in a hugepage
region, causing oopses and other badness.

Add a test to prevent this.  With this patch, brk() will simply fail if it
attempts to move the break into a hugepage reserved region.
