I would prefer if we also move setting the destructor to this routine.
	set_compound_page_dtor(page, HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR);

That way, PageHuge() will be false until it 'really' is a huge page.
If not, we could potentially go into that retry loop in
dissolve_free_huge_page or alloc_and_dissolve_huge_page in patch 5.
