That is on me.
I thought that given the low number of flags, we coud get away with:

hugetlb_{set,test,clear}_page_flag(page, flag)

and call it from the code.
But some of the flags need to be set/tested outside hugetlb code, so
it indeed looks nicer and more consistent to follow page-flags.h convention.

Sorry for the noise.
