Is this warning really correct? file-backed memory can be PMD-mapped with
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, so presumably it can also have the need to be
remapped as pte? Although I guess if we did have a file-backed folio, it
definitely wouldn't be correct to call page_add_anon_rmap() /
folio_add_anon_rmap_ptes()...
