I think I just misunderstood your suggestion.
How about this ?

static inline bool mapping_large_folio_support(struct address_space *mapping)
{
	VM_WARN_ONCE((unsigned long)mapping & PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, 
			"Anonymous mapping always supports large folio");

	return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) &&
		test_bit(AS_LARGE_FOLIO_SUPPORT, &mapping->flags);
}
