yes. nr_pages > 1 is the correct condition. though it doesn't cause
any crash for
nr_pages > 0 as we have memory for order-0. but it is a useless job to count
for nr_pages==1 as there is no place to show it in sysfs.

agreed.  Also, it doesn't cause any crash as we have memory in mthp_stats for
order-0.
i will totally remove  if (nr_pages > 0) and as we are certainly in large folios
cases.
