Right, using vm_normal_page() is even completely bogus. Usually (but not 
always) we have PMDs/PUDs and not PTEs for mapping hugetlb pages -- 
where vm_normal_folio_pmd() would be the right thing to do.

That's also the reason why hugetlb.c has not a single user of 
vm_normal_page() and friends ... it doesn't apply to hugetlb, but likely 
also isn't currently harmful to use it.
