Yes, I think that line was unnecessary. I see from git history that it was
originally being set to NULL from within __put_devmap_managed_page(), and then
in commit 2fa147bdbf672c53386a8f5f2c7fe358004c3ef8, Dan moved it out of there,
and stashed in specifically here. But it appears to have been unnecessary from
the beginning.
