This is a pre-existing bug, but ... what happens if you're on a 64-bit
system and you mlock() a range that is exactly 2^44 bytes?  Seems to me
that count becomes 0.  Why not use an unsigned long here and avoid the
problem entirely?

folio_pte_batch() also needs to take an unsigned long max_nr in that
case, because you aren't restricting it to folio_nr_pages().
