We recently made GUP's common page table walking code to also walk hugetlb VMAs without most hugetlb special-casing, preparing for the future of having less hugetlb-specific page table walking code in the codebase. Turns out that we missed one page table locking detail: page table locking for hugetlb folios that are not mapped using a single PMD/PUD.
James, Peter,
the following seems to get the job done. Thoughts?
OK to me, so my A-b can keep, but let me still comment; again, all nitpicks.

I'd drop this so the mm lock fallback will be done below (especially in reality the pud lock is always mm lock for now..). Also this line reads like there can be P4D size huge page but in reality PUD is the largest (nopxx doesn't count). We also same some cycles in most cases if removed.
- else if (size >= PUD_SIZE)
return pud_lockptr(mm, (pud_t *) pte);- else if (size >= PMD_SIZE || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HIGHPTE))
I thought this HIGHPTE can also be dropped? Because in HIGHPTE it should never have lower-than-PMD huge pages or we're in trouble. That's why I kept one WARN_ON() in my pesudo code but only before trying to take the pte lockptr.

Great to know we can drop the mask..
