Subject: [PATCH] mm: mlock: avoid folio_within_range() on KSM pages

Since mm-hotfixes-stable commit dc68badcede4 ("mm: mlock: update
mlock_pte_range to handle large folio") I've just occasionally seen
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(folio_test_ksm) warnings from folio_within_range(),
in a splurge after testing with KSM hyperactive.

folio_referenced_one()'s use of folio_within_vma() is safe because
it checks folio_test_large() first; but allow_mlock_munlock() needs
to do the same to avoid those warnings (or check !folio_test_ksm()
itself? or move either check into folio_within_range()? hard to tell
without more examples of its use).

Fixes: dc68badcede4 ("mm: mlock: update mlock_pte_range to handle large folio")
