In isolate_or_dissolve_huge_folio(), after acquiring the hugetlb_lock, it is only for the purpose of obtaining the correct hstate, which is then passed to alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio() itself also acquires the hugetlb_lock. We can have alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio() obtain the hstate by itself, so that isolate_or_dissolve_huge_folio() no longer needs to acquire the hugetlb_lock. In addition, we keep the folio_test_hugetlb() check within isolate_or_dissolve_huge_folio(). By doing so, we can avoid disrupting the normal path by vainly holding the hugetlb_lock. replace_free_hugepage_folios() has the same issue, and we should address it as well. Addresses a possible performance problem which was added by the hotfix113ed54ad2("mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when replacing free hugetlb folios").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
