Argh.  I have a fear of this exact bug, and I must have missed checking
for it this time.  I hate trying to keep two variables in sync, so my
preferred fix for this is to remove it for this merge window:

(ie revert the first hunk).  I'll come back to khugepaged in the next
merge window and convert this function properly.  It's going to take
some surgery to shmem in order to use folios there first ...
