Hi Zi,

When booting the kernel against next-master(20240228)with Arm64 on
Marvell Thunder X2 (TX2), the kselftest-mm test 'split_huge_page_test'
is failing in our CI (with rootfs over NFS). I can send the full logs if
required.

A bisect (full log below) identified this patch as introducing the
failure. Bisected it on the tag "next-20240228" at repo
"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git";.

This works fine on  Linux version 6.8.0-rc6
