I do not disagree with the code change. However, this commit message
is not accurate. set_page_huge_active() no longer exists in the tree
you are changing. It was replaced with SetHPageMigratable. Also, the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHeadHuge(page), page) was removed in the process.
So, there is no redundant check.
However, a quick audit of calling code reveals that all callers know they
are operating on a hugetlb head page.
