Let's sanity-check PageAnonExclusive vs. mapcount in page_add_anon_rmap()
and hugepage_add_anon_rmap() after setting PageAnonExclusive simply by
re-reading the mapcounts.

We can stop initializing the "first" variable in page_add_anon_rmap()
and no longer need an atomic_inc_and_test() in hugepage_add_anon_rmap().

While at it, switch to VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO().

Subject: [PATCH] fixup: mm/rmap: simplify PageAnonExclusive sanity checks when
adding anon rmap

While PTE-mapping a THP, we temporarily have an exclusive page of a THP
mapped by both, a PMD and a PTE at the same time. Update our check to
allow for that combination.
