Yes, I think this is the right fix. It's not immediately obvious from
the bug and the patch, but what's going on is:
page_mapped_in_vma() sets nr_pages to 1. This is correct because we
usually only want to know about the precise page, and not about the
folio containing it. But hugetlbfs is special (... in so many ways ...)
and actually wants to work on the entire folio. We could set nr_pages
specially for hugetlb pages, but it's better to ignore it in
page_vma_mapped_walk() for the hugetlb case.
I'll fix up the changelog and add it to my pile of fixes that I'm
sending tomorrow.

I looked over the patch in context, and realised we now don't need to
call size_to_hstate since we're getting the hstate from the VMA.
