Yeah, that was an oversight. As I said I did not compile it(let alone
test it), otherwise the system would have screamed I guess.

I was more interested in knowing whether how did it look wrt. retry

The spin_lock after the isolate_huge_page() in
alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page() could probably be spared by placing a
goto out directly before the return.
