So maybe I'm stupid, but why do you need that work in hugetlb? Afaict it
should be in cma_release().
Also, afaict cma_release() does free_contig_range() *first*, and then
does the 'difficult' bits. So how about you re-order
free_gigantic_page() a bit to make it unconditionally do
free_contig_range() and *then* call into CMA, which can then do a
workqueue thingy if it feels like it.
That way none of the hugetlb accounting is delayed, and only CMA gets to
suffer.
