Yes, otherwise my patch can't be applied. What I saw on linux-next for
mm/huge_memory.c looks like:

bfede97b8d6d mm/huge_memory: remove stale page_trans_huge_mapcount()
6c127ac2ff1d mm/huge_memory: streamline COW logic in do_huge_pmd_wp_page()
cb63c1eb2a3c mm/migration: add trace events for THP migrations
e65f964148fe Merge branch 'akpm-current/current'
61435e1e267c mm/readahead: Align file mappings for non-DAX
80ef527bf929 mm: Turn can_split_huge_page() into can_split_folio()
8339af1d0a18 mm/rmap: Convert rmap_walk() to take a folio
16f06327291e mm/migrate: Convert remove_migration_ptes() to folios
bd23d3f12232 memory tiering: skip to scan fast memory
47a3e10abb78 mm: thp: fix wrong cache flush in remove_migration_pmd()
1de8566cca0a mm/rmap: Convert try_to_migrate() to folios

07ca76067308 mm/munlock: maintain page->mlock_count while unevictable
cea86fe246b6 mm/munlock: rmap call mlock_vma_page() munlock_vma_page()
b67bf49ce7aa mm/munlock: delete FOLL_MLOCK and FOLL_POPULATE
f56caedaf94f Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

It looks like your series were rebased on top of mlock cleanup and
folio. Anyway I will wait for Andrew. If he thought a new patch
rebased on top of both mlock cleanup and folio would make his life
easier, I will submit v2.
