I can't remember, what was the reason for not doing it in
remove_migration_pte() as well ?
Looking at it, I have the feeling that we now have a redundant
pte_mkhuge() there.

Also, could we get rid of the one in mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c ?

Also, shouldn't arch_make_huge_pte() be documented in
Documentation/vm/arch_pgtable_helpers.rst instead of pte_mkhuge() ?
