Since we only support PMD-sized mappings for THP, getting a permission fault on a level that results in a mapping being larger than PAGE_SIZE is a sure indication that we have already upgraded our mapping to a PMD. In this case, there is no need to try and parse userspace page tables, as the fault information already tells us everything.
