As far as I can see it was added by commit 303be4b33562 ("LoongArch: mm:
Add p?d_leaf() definitions").

Not sure it was added for a good reason, and I'm not sure what was added
is correct because arch/loongarch/include/asm/pgtable-bits.h has:

#define _PAGE_HUGE_SHIFT 6 /* HUGE is a PMD bit */

So I'm not sure it is correct to use that bit for PUD, is it ?

Probably pud_leaf() should always return false.
