In this case that regular continuation already happened by not taking
the if (is_zone_device_page(page)) branch

That attempts to skip the overhead imposed by device-pages, i.e.
->page_free() callback and other extras, if there are no device-page
producers in the system. I.e. use the old simple put_page() path when
there is no hmm or pmem.
