This is the sort of buggy construct that is highlighted in
include/linux/cleanup.h: initialising the object for cleanup with
NULL, and only later assigning the expected value.

It may not matter here, but it will catch you (or more probably me) in
the future.

Do you really anticipate PAGE_SIZE being any other value? This is 100%
dead code. If you want to be extra cautious, have a BUILD_BUg_ON().

What is the live cycle of the page when the call succeeds? Is it
switched back to the NS PAS and allowed to be freed?

Thanks,
