PageTransCompoundMap() returns true for hugetlbfs and THP hugepages. This behaviour incorrectly leads to stage 2 faults for unsupported hugepage sizes (e.g., 64K hugepage with 4K pages) to be treated as THP faults.
Tighten the check to filter out hugetlbfs pages. This also leads to consistently mapping all unsupported hugepage sizes as PTE level entries at stage 2.

Hmm, this function is only actually called from user_mem_abort() if we have (!hugetlb), so I'm not sure the cc stable here was actually warranted, nor that this patch is strictly necessary.
It doesn't hurt, and makes the code potentially more robust for the future though.
Am I missing something?
!hugetlb is only true for hugepage sizes supported at stage 2. The function also got called for unsupported hugepage size at stage 2, e.g., 64k hugepage with 4k page size, which then ended up doing the wrong thing.
Hope that adds some context. I should've added this to the commit log.
Thanks,
Christoffer
