From: Wei Yang richardw.yang@linux.intel.com Subject: mm: thp: don't need care deferred split queue in memcg charge move path
If compound is true, this means it is a PMD mapped THP. Which implies the page is not linked to any defer list. So the first code chunk will not be executed.
Also with this reason, it would not be proper to add this page to a defer list. So the second code chunk is not correct.
Based on this, we should remove the defer list related code.
