extern is not needed here.

Why hugetlb_lock? Comment for this lock says that it protects
hugepage_freelists, nr_huge_pages, and free_huge_pages.

I am a bit confused why page_table_lock is used here and why it doesn't
cover the page usage.

Why an explicit check for is_vm_hugetlb_page here? Isn't pmd_huge()
sufficient?
