Okay, but IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) on the caller side would
do the trick, I believe.

Looks like a code duplication.

Could you move these two helpers out of #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PUD and
make get_old_pmd() and alloc_new_pmd() use them?

Em. Who would ever specify invalid pgt_entry? It's bug.
Again, switch()?

Nit: here and below, double space after '='. Why?

Any chance  if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PUD)) would work here?
