You are absolutely right. I have not observed the
underflow, but the functions doing the decrementing
use hpage_nr_pages, and I need to do that as well
on the incrementing side.

Change made.

Good point, a CMA allocation could start partway into a
compound page.

So far so good.

I don't get this one, though. What about a THP that has
not made it onto the LRU list yet for some reason?

I don't think anonymous pages are marked __PageMovable,
are they? It looks like they only have the PAGE_MAPPING_ANON
flag set, not the PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE one.

What am I missing?
