Update all defconfigs that specify a default configuration for hugetlbfs.
There is now only one option: CONFIG_HUGETLB.  Replace the old
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS options with the new one.  I found no
cases where CONFIG_HUGETLBFS and CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE had different values so
this patch is large but completely mechanical:
...
 335 files changed, 335 insertions(+), 385 deletions(-)

Please don't do this kind of patches - it doesn't bring any advantage 
but can create tons of patch conflicts.

The next time a defconfig gets updated it will anyway automatically be 
fixed, and for defconfigs that aren't updated it doesn't create any 
problems to keep them as they are today until they might one day get 
updated.

Thanks for taking a look.  I am not sure if I have ever seen a defconfig
patch hit the mailing list before and I was wondering how those changes
happen.  In any case I am perfectly happy to drop this huge patch and
stick with just the first one.
