I assume, you were going to pass dst_vma->vm_mm here?
This patch does not compile otherwise.

Ah, I compiled it only on x86, where the parameter is ignored ... and
for testing the code path I forced mm_forbids_zeropage to be 1 on x86.

Now I get it, I compiled it all on s390x, but not the individual patches, so patch #2 hid the issue in patch #1. Sneaky. :)
