This fixes the below crash:

  kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:2373!
  cpu 0x5d: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000003c6e76e0]

  kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:2373!
    move_hugetlb_page_tables+0x4e4/0x5b0 (link register)
    move_hugetlb_page_tables+0x22c/0x5b0 (unreliable)
    move_page_tables+0xdbc/0x1010

    system_call_exception+0x160/0x2c0

the kernel can't use huge_pte_offset before it set the pte entry because
a page table lookup check for huge PTE bit in the page table to
differentiate between a huge pte entry and a pointer to pte page.  A
huge_pte_alloc won't mark the page table entry huge and hence kernel
should not use huge_pte_offset after a huge_pte_alloc.
