In general, I agree that the race window is small. However, worst case
would be if the freeing of the page is put on a work queue. Is it acceptable
to keep retrying in that case? In addition, the 'Free some vmemmap' series
may slow the free_huge_page path even more.
In these worst case scenarios, I am not sure we want to just spin retrying.
