Fix write/read_hugepage() for copy-on-write.
When the cowflag is valid, child process should copy all the hugepage of
its parent. But now no matter what cowflag is, the child process will not do
copy-on-write operation. It is because the parameter(size==0) of
write_hugepage() make write_hugepage() do nothing.
This problem is introduced by
