It may corrupt the deferred split queue since it is never added into the list, but deleted here.
of destructor is required?
Due to the change to free_transhuge_page() (extracted deferred split queue manipulation and moved before memcg uncharge since page->mem_cgroup is needed), it just calls free_compound_page(). So, it sounds pointless to still keep THP specific destructor.
It looks there is not a good way to tell if the compound page is THP in free_page path or not, we may keep the destructor just for this?
