I see you seized the opportunity to keep this code gloriously
unencumbered by pesky comments. This seems like a time when you might
have slipped up and been temped to add a comment or two. Guess not. :)

Seriously, though, does it hurt us to add a comment or two to say
something like:

/*
* Should not even be attempting cluster allocations when
* huge page swap is disabled. Warn and fail the allocation.
*/
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_THP_SWAP)) {
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
return 0;
}
