Thanks for debugging it.  I'd rather see this written as ...

		pte_t pteval = *_pte;
+		unsigned long pfn;

+		if (pte_none(pteval))
+			continue;
+		pfn = pte_pfn(pteval);
+		if (is_zero_pfn(pfn))
+			continue;
+		folio = pfn_folio(pfn);
+		if (folio_test_large(folio))
+			continue;
		release_pte_folio(folio);

makes sense?
