Just for interest: does this mean that the operation is always
"destructive" (i.e. modifying state) even when install_pte() does not
do anything, i.e. does the split alway happen despite what the callback
does? Not really expert on this but this paragraph won't leave me
alone :-)

Given that especially walk_page_range_novma() has bunch of call sites,
it would not hurt to mention here simply that only for mm-internal use
with not much other explanation.

Alternatively one could consider defining "struct mm_walk_internal_ops",
which would be only available in internal.h but I guess there is good
reasons to do it way it is.
