[PATCH v2 5/5] mm,hugetlb: Drop unlikelys from hugetlb_fault

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Fri Jun 20 2025 - 08:31:25 EST


The unlikely predates an era where we were checking for hwpoisoned/migration
entries prior to checking whether the pte was present.

Currently, we check for the pte to be a migration/hwpoison entry after we
have checked that is not present, so it must be either one or the other.
