Exactly, assuming that PTRS_PER_PTE entries are present per page table page for
all supported HugeTLB levels might be bit risky, particularly for the top level.
Hence rather than all these additional BUILD_BUG_ON() checks for using standard
page table page entries i.e PTRS_PER_PTE, it might be better to just stick with
the original check either via 'if else' as proposed or better with a switch case.
