pmd/pud_populate is the right interface to be used to set the respective

can only be used to set a hugepage PTE. Since we are not setting up a hugepage
PTE here, use the pmd/pud_populate interface.
Since you did the audit, it might be nice to record which architectures
that are. Also, how much work to fix them?
