That is correct. Updated the patch and also added the below comment to
the function.
+
+/*
+ * Should be called with hugetlb_lock held.
+ * Since we are holding hugetlb_lock, pages cannot get moved from
+ * active list or uncharged from the cgroup, So no need to get
+ * page reference and test for page active here.
