A kernel crash was observed when migrating hugetlb folio:

It's because hugetlb folio is passed to __folio_undo_large_rmappable() unexpectedly. large_rmappable flag is imperceptibly set to hugetlb folio since commit f6a8dd98a2ce ("hugetlb: convert alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio to use a folio"). Then commit be9581ea8c05 ("mm: fix crashes from deferred split racing folio migration") makes folio_migrate_mapping() call folio_undo_large_rmappable() triggering the bug. Fix this issue by clearing large_rmappable flag for hugetlb folios. They don't need that flag set anyway.
