FYI -
With https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220621235620.291305-5-mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx/
copy_hugetlb_page_range() should never be called for shared mappings.
Since HGM only works on shared mappings, code in this patch will never
be executed.

I have a TODO to remove shared mapping support from copy_hugetlb_page_range.
