folio_test_hugetlb() will call PageHeadHuge which is a function call, and blocks the compiler from recognizing this redundant load.
After rearranging the code, stack usage is dropped from 32 to 24, and the function size is smaller (tested on GCC 12):
Before:
Stack usage:
mm/util.c:845:5:folio_mapcount 32 static
Size:0000000000000ea0 00000000000000c7 T folio_mapcount
After:
Stack usage:
mm/util.c:845:5:folio_mapcount 24 static
Size:0000000000000ea0 00000000000000b0 T folio_mapcount
