When we allocate hugetlb page from buddy, we may need split huge pmd to pte. When we free the hugetlb page, we can merge pte to pmd. So we need to distinguish whether the previous pmd has been split. The page table is not allocated from slab. So we can reuse the PG_slab to indicate that the pmd has been split.
