There is a pmd_trans_huge() check at the beginning, should it be removed
as well? Since pte_offset_map_lock() is also able to detect it.

These two changes affect the ret value. Before, pmd_devmap_trans_unstable() == true
made ret = VM_FAULT_NPAGE, but now ret is the default 0 value. So ret should be set
to VM_FAULT_NPAGE before goto out in the second hunk?
