split_huge_page() will never call on a page which isn't on lru list, so this code never got a chance to run, and should not be run, to add tail pages on a lru list which head page isn't there.
Although the bug was never triggered, it'better be removed for code correctness, and add a warn for unexpected calling. Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Kirill A.
