PageTransCompound() is true for hugetlb pages as well as THP. And, hugetlb
pages will not have a ref per subpage as THP does. So, I believe this will
break hugetlb seal usage.

I was trying to do some testing via the memfd selftests, but those have some
other issues for hugetlb that need to be fixed. :(
