The arch-specific get_user_pages_fast() has a gup_huge_pmd() designed to
optimize the refcounting on anonymous THP and hugetlbfs pages, with one
atomic addition to compound head's common refcount. That optimization
must be avoided on huge tmpfs team pages, which use normal separate page
refcounting. We could combine the PageTeam and PageCompound cases into
a single simple loop, but would lose the compound optimization that way.
One cannot go through these functions without wondering why some arches
(x86, mips) like to SetPageReferenced, while the rest do not: an x86
optimization that missed being propagated to the other architectures?
No, see commit 8ee53820edfd ("thp: mmu_notifier_test_young"): it's a
KVM GRU EPT thing, maybe not useful beyond x86. I've just followed
the established practice in each architecture.

Cc'ed to arch maintainers as an FYI: this patch is not expected to
go into the tree in the next few weeks, and depends upon a PageTeam
definition not yet available outside this huge tmpfs patchset.
Please refer to linux-mm or linux-kernel for more context.
