I think this handles HugeTLB pages correctly:

subpage = page - page_to_pfn(page) + pte_pfn(*pvmw.pte);

As I understand the HugeTLB code, pvmw.pte refers to the head page, not
the subpage (unlike a PTE-mapped THP page, where it would refer to the
precise page). But I cheerfully admit that the intricacies of the
HugeTLB code are not something I'm an expert on.
