This comment could be more helpful. I believe you want to say this

As I've said elsewhere in_atomic doesn't work for CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n.
We need this change for other reasons and so it would be better to pull
it out into a separate patch which also makes HUGETLB depend on
PREEMPT_COUNT.

This is quite ugly and confusing. update_and_free_page is careful to do
the proper counters accounting and now you just override it partially.
Why cannot we rely on update_and_free_page do the right thing?
