   if (PageHuge(page))  // page must be a hugetlb page
	if (PageHead(page)) // page must be a head page, not tail
              isolate_hugetlb() // isolate the hugetlb page if head

After using folio,

   if (folio_test_hugetlb(folio)) // only check folio is hugetlb or not

I don't check the page is head or not, since the follow_page could
return a sub-page, so the check PageHead need be retained, right?
