Your understanding is correct. Here is the comment for the routine which
sets pvmw.pte.

* For HugeTLB pages, @pvmw->pte is set to the relevant page table entry
* regardless of which page table level the page is mapped at. @pvmw->pmd is
* NULL.

Just another thought. With new hugetlb vmmemmap optimizations, it is not
possible to set poison on hugetlb tail pages until after allocating struct
pages.
