I think you misunderstood the comment which I admit was not very clear. And,
I misunderstood your suggestion. I believe the code is correct as it. Here
is the proposed update comment/code:

/*
* Only present in sharable vmas. See comment in
* __unmap_hugepage_range_final about how VM_SHARED could
* be set without VM_MAYSHARE. As a result, we need to
* check if either is set in the free path.
*/
if (!vma || !(vma->vm_flags & (VM_MAYSHARE | VM_SHARED)))
return;

Hopefully, that makes more sense.
