The reason is that dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page checks page_huge_active()
inside hugetlb_lock, which allows us to avoid trying to dequeue a hugepage
that are just allocated but not linked to active list yet, even without
taking page lock.
Your question makes me aware of another comment to be removed, so let me
update this.
Thanks,
