Sorry for confusing commit log again. I should have a coffee before I make this patch.
Huge or normal zero page will fail at get_any_page because they're neither HWPoisonHandlable
nor PageHuge.

What I mean is that non-lru movable compound page can reach here unexpected because __PageMovable(page)
is handleable now. So get_any_page could succeed to grab the page refcnt. And since it's compound page,
it will go through the split_huge_page_to_list because PageTransHuge checks PageHead(page) which can also
be true for compound page. But this type of pages is unexpected for split_huge_page_to_list.

Does this make sense for you? Thanks Naoya.
