It's because hugetlb folio is passed to __folio_undo_large_rmappable()
unexpectedly. large_rmappable flag is imperceptibly set to hugetlb folio
since commit f6a8dd98a2ce ("hugetlb: convert alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio to
use a folio"). Then commit be9581ea8c05 ("mm: fix crashes from deferred
split racing folio migration") makes folio_migrate_mapping() call
folio_undo_large_rmappable() triggering the bug. Fix this issue by
clearing large_rmappable flag for hugetlb folios. They don't need that
flag set anyway.
