Actually, pmd_set_huge() will never fail because, if
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is disabled, ioremap_pmd_enabled()
will fail and if enabled (i.e. ARM64 & x86), they don't fail
in their implementation. So, rather we can do the following.

-                       if (pmd_set_huge(pmd, phys_addr + addr, prot)) {
-                               pmd_free_pte_page(&old_pmd);
-                               continue;
-                       } else
-                               set_pmd(pmd, old_pmd);
+                       pmd_set_huge(pmd, phys_addr + addr, prot)
+                       pmd_free_pte_page(&old_pmd);
+                       continue;
