The page_head_if_fake() is used throughout memory management and the
conditional check requires checking a global variable, although the
overhead of this check may be small, it increases when the memory
cache comes under pressure. Also, the global variable will not be
modified after system boot, so it is very appropriate to use static
key machanism.

A question bothering me is that we still have hugetlb_free_vmemmap_enabled
defined as static_key_enabled(&hugetlb_free_vmemmap_enabled_key).
but here you are using static_branch_maybe() with the CONFIG and refer the key
directly.
Do we only need one of them? Or something is wrong?
