Well, this is a bit misleading. I would say that
Fix this by checking hugepage_migration_supported both in has_unmovable_pages
which is the primary backoff mechanism for page offlining and for
consistency reasons also into scan_movable_pages because it doesn't make
any sense to return a pfn to non-migrateable huge page.

I would add
Fixes: 72b39cfc4d75 ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not fail offlining too early")
Not because the bug has been introduced by that commit but rather
because the issue would be latent before that commit.
My Acked-by still holds.
