Probably there are other problematic bits without that can trigger that?
I suspect walk_page_range*() callers might be affected,
I rechecked the code and found that other architectures that support
THP have defined pmd_leaf.
So there is not problem on other architectures.

I meant other walk_page_range*() callers on loongarch might similarly be affected. IOW, KSM might not be the only bit being able to trigger such panics on loongarch.
