So just above the quoted code is a

	if (PageHuge(page))
		return page;

So how can we get into a compound page that is not a huge page, but
only if THP is enabled?  (Yes, maybe I'm a little rusty on VM
internals).

Can you add comments describing the use case of this function and why
it does all these checks?  It looks like black magic to me.
