This is wrong. If we have a PTE-mapped THP, you'll remove the head page
N times instead of removing each of N pages.

This is device private entry, I suppose that it won't be a THP and large
folio when check migrate_vma_check_page() and migrate_vma_insert_page(),
right?

I don't want to leave that kind of booby-trap in the code. Both places
which currently call page_remove_rmap() should be left as referring to
the page, not the folio.

Sure, I will fix this, also page_try_dup_anon_rmap() for device private
entry in copy_nonpresent_pte of patch5.
