Thanks, I decided against it so I don't have to make patch description of patch #1 even longer with something that's mostly unrelated to the core change.

That comment for pmd_protnone() was added in commit 2b4847e73004 ("mm: numa: serialise parallel get_user_page against THP migration"), which noted: THP does not unmap pages due to a lack of support for migration entries at a PMD level. This allows races with get_user_pages Nowadays, we do have PMD migration entries, so the comment no longer applies. Let's drop it.
