I am not sure if this is possible.

It is true that resv_map could be NULL.  However, I believe resv map
can only be NULL for inodes that are not regular or link inodes.  This
is the inode creation code in hugetlbfs_get_inode().

       /*
         * Reserve maps are only needed for inodes that can have associated
         * page allocations.
         */
        if (S_ISREG(mode) || S_ISLNK(mode)) {
                resv_map = resv_map_alloc();
                if (!resv_map)
                        return NULL;
        }

If resv_map is NULL, then no hugetlb pages can be allocated/associated
with the file.  As a result, remove_inode_hugepages will never find any
huge pages associated with the inode and the passed value 'freed' will
always be zero.

Does that sound correct?
