There is a comment above this function, which says "revalidate vma before
taking mmap_lock".

I am afraid it is "after taking mmap_lock"? or "after taking mmap_lock again"?

Below is a comment, "thp_vma_allowable_order may return".

Since you use thp_vma_allowable_orders, maybe we need to change the comment
too.
