I agree. The whole

page = alloc_pages_node(nid, alloc_flags, order);
if (!page)
continue;
if (!order)
break;
if (!PageCompound(page)) {
split_page(page, order);
break;
} else if (!split_huge_page(page)) {
break;
}

looks very suspicious to me.
My wild guess is that gfp flags changed somewhere above, so we hit
the branch which was never hit before.
