When we specify a large number for node in hugepages parameter, it may
be parsed to another number due to truncation in this statement:

	node = tmp;

For example, add following parameter in command line:

	hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4294967297:5

and kernel will allocate 5 hugepages for node 1 instead of ignoring it.

I move the validation check earlier to fix this issue, and slightly
simplifies the condition here.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
