Hugepd format is only used in PowerPC with hugetlbfs. In commit
a6e79df92e4a ("mm/gup: disallow FOLL_LONGTERM GUP-fast writing to
file-backed mappings"), we added a check to fail gup-fast if there's
potential risk of violating GUP over writeback file systems. That should
never apply to hugepd.
Drop that check, not only because it'll never be true for hugepd, but also
it paves way for reusing the function outside fast-gup.
