Good point. This function is originally a copy/paste of release_pages(), and I
obviously missed this. In fact, looking at it again today, I think I'll factor
out the vast majority into a common helper, since I'm currently duplicating a
whole bunch here.

In practice I think all devmap folios will be small today though? So while I
agree I need to fix this, I think in practice it will currently do the right thing?

OK, what's it called? This is just copied from release_pages() at the moment.
Happy to use your helper in the refactored common helper.
