Please add this fix after my 27/31, your huge-tmpfs-recovery-tweak-shmem_getpage_gfp-to-fill-team.patch for later merging into it. Great catch by Mika Penttila, a bug which prevented some unusual cases from being recovered into huge pages as intended: an initially sparse head would be set PageTeam only after this check. But the check is guarding against a racing disband, which cannot happen before the head is published as PageTeam, plus we have an additional reference on the head which keeps it safe throughout: so very easily fixed.
