When huge_pte_offset() is called, the parameter sz can only be PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE. If sz is PUD_SIZE and code can reach pud, then *pud must be none, or normal hugetlb entry, or non-present (migration or hwpoisoned) hugetlb entry, and we can directly return pud. When sz is PMD_SIZE, pud must be none or present, and if code can reach pmd, we can directly return pmd. So, after this patch, the code is simplified by first check on the parameter sz, and avoid unnecessary checks in current code.
