I can get the point, but it reads slightly awkward.  How about:

        /*
         * If the address to split can be in the middle of a shared pmd
         * range, unshare before split the vma.
         */

I remember you had a helper to check pmd sharing possibility.  Can use here
depending on whether that existed in the code base or in your hgm series
(or just pick that up with this one?).

IMHO slightly cleaner to write in the reversed way and let it fall through:

  if (floor >= vma->vm_start && ceil <= vma->vm_end)
      hugetlb_unshare_pmds(vma, floor, ceil);

Thanks,
