I have a couple of comments that are actually mostly related to 
pre-existing bugs, but that affect code that are touched by this patch.

Perhaps this is most cleanly addressed by a follow-up patch. Up to you 
to decide.

Since these problems are pre-existing,

Since if we didn't get the PTL here, the pud might be unstable in which 
case we want to retry:

if (!ptl) {
	if (pud_trans_unstable(pudp))
		walk->action = ACTION_AGAIN;
	return 0;
}

We have the lock now, so READ_ONCE could probably be a simple dereference.

pud_trans_huge_lock() successful return means pud_none() is always false.

Can't see !pud_present happening either after a succesful 
pud_trans_huge_lock().

Here we should really have

if (pud_trans_unstable(pud))
