I was going by what the code used to look like.

#ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
...
#else
        page_head = compound_head(page);
        if (page != page_head) {
                get_page(page_head);
                put_page(page);
        }
#endif

That all went away, but the pinned page that we used in the end was
stable until Mel's optimization landed, leaving me thinking I needed to
do both.  Hohum, close but no banana.
