That would mean get_user_pages_fast() and put_user_pages_fast() are broken for anything
handling PUDs or above? See record_subpages() in gup_huge_pud() or even gup_huge_pgd().
It's using the same page++.

This adjustment below probably is what you're trying to suggest.

Also, nth_page() is slightly more expensive and so the numbers above change from ~4.4k
usecs to ~7.8k usecs.
