Subject: [PATCH v1 4/6] mm/rmap: warn on new PTE-mapped folios in page_add_anon_rmap()

If swapin code would ever decide to not use order-0 pages and supply a
PTE-mapped large folio, we will have to change how we call
__folio_set_anon() -- eventually with exclusive=false and an adjusted
address. For now, let's add a VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO() with a comment about the
situation.
