I still can't understand why is it safe to blindly use mm_find_pmd().

Say, what pmd_offset(pud, address) will return to this function if
pud_huge() == T? IIUC, this is possible if is_file_hugepages(vm_file).
How the code below can use this result?

I think you need something like hugepage_vma_check() or even
hugepage_vma_revalidate().
