Don't we need to support CONTIG_PTE/PMD levels here for ARM64?

Is shift + level redundant? When would those diverge?

I think BUG_ON()s will be frowned upon. This function also doesn't
really need ptep. Maybe let hugetlb_pte_shift() decide to BUG_ON() if
necessary.

I don't know if this fallback to huge_pte_lockptr() should be obivous
to the reader. If not, a comment would help.

I also don't know if this is obvious to other readers, but I'm quite
confused that we pass both hugetlb_pte and pte_t here, especially when
hpte has a pte_t inside of it. Maybe a comment would help.
