Sorry, I forgot to remove.

How about pmd_trans_huge_stable()?

OK, I will add VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(vma->mm->mmap_sem)),
which helps us make sure that new user of this function holds mmap_sem.

All users (except one) of the logic which I want to replace with
check_and_wait_split_huge_pmd() expect it to return:
1: when pmd maps thp and is not under splitting,
0: when pmd maps thp and is under splitting,
0: when pmd doesn't map thp.
But only move_huge_pmd() expects differently:
1: when pmd maps thp and is not under splitting,
-1: when pmd maps thp and is under splitting,
0: when pmd doesn't map thp.
move_huge_pmd() is used only around the above hunk, so I chose to change
the caller. It makes no behavioral change because split_huge_page_pmd()
does nothing when old_pmd doesn't map thp.
Is it better to separate changing return value into another patch?
