Maybe the reason is as follows.

The first check_pmd() is wrapped inside `if (pmd_trans_huge(pmde))`
block, since pmd_trans_huge() just returns 0, check_pmd() will be
optimized out.  There is a `if (!thp_migration_supported()) return;` block
before the second check_pmd(), however, thp_migration_supported()
returns 0 on riscv. So the second check_pmd() can be optimized out as
well.  I think I should replace `pmd_leaf` with `pmd_trans_huge() ||
pmd_devmap()`
to fix it.

Thanks.
