Thanks for the reminder, this fell through cracks.

It indeed appears that I can move

mm-create-folio_flag_false-and-folio_type_ops-macros.patch
mm-support-page_mapcount-on-page_has_type-pages.patch
mm-turn-folio_test_hugetlb-into-a-pagetype.patch
mm-turn-folio_test_hugetlb-into-a-pagetype-fix.patch

without merge or build issues.  I added

Fixes: 9c5ccf2db04b ("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR")
Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

to all patches.

But a question: 9c5ccf2db04b is from August 2023.  Why are we seeing
this issue now?
