I think I missed this case in the generic version.

As hugetlb_fault() deals with p*d_none() entries by calling
hugetlb_no_page(), the thinking was that returning the p*d saves us an
extra round trip by avoiding the call to huge_pte_alloc().

[1] is already queued in Andrew's tree. I'll send an update - hopefully
it can be picked up for the next merge.
