I noticed that there was a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE before which was deleted by patch 6560e8cd869b ("mm/filemap.c: remove bogus VM_BUG_ON")
It seems that page->index and xas.xa_index are not guaranteed to be equal. Therefore, I conservatively retained
the PageTransHuge to keep consistent with the original logic :)
