I don't think you should be declaring this inside an inlined function, you 
probably should be protecting the declarations of the variable and the 
function instead.  Perhaps by CONFIG_MMU?

Umm, this is a copy and paste of pgtable_trans_huge_withdraw() from the 
generic page table handling.  Why can't you reuse that and support (and/or 
modify) the s390 and sparc code?

This whole function is extremely similar to the implementation of 
do_huge_pmd_wp_page_fallback(), there really is no way to fold the two?  
Typically in cases like this it's helpful to split out different logical 
segments of a function into smaller functions that would handle both  
page and !page accordingly.

This could all use a minor restructuring to make it much more cleaner, 
perhaps by extracting the page_mapcount(page) == 1 case to be a separate 
function that deals with non-copying writes?

Couldn't this be an "else" instead?
