After some more thinking I believe I was wrong in my last statement.
This optimization shouldn't have any effect on pages on the pool as
those stay at reference count 0 and they cannot be isolated either
(clear_page_huge_active before it is enqueued).

That being said, the migration code would still have to learn about
about this pages but that is out of scope of this discussion.

Sorry about the confusion from my side.
