While playing with gigantic hugepages and memory_hotplug, I triggered
the following #PF when "cat memoryX/removable":

The reason is we do not pass the Head to page_hstate(), and so,
the call to compound_order() in page_hstate() returns 0, so
we end up checking all hstates's size to match PAGE_SIZE.
Obviously, we do not find any hstate matching that size, and we
return NULL.
Then, we dereference that NULL pointer in hugepage_migration_supported()
and we got the #PF from above.
Fix that by getting the head page before calling page_hstate().
