Although that's an Android problem and not an upstream problem, I'll 
note that there are other reasons why the split / move might fail, and 
user space either must retry or fallback to a COPY.

Regarding mTHP, we could move the whole folio if the user space-provided 
range allows for batching over multiple PTEs (nr_ptes), they are in a 
single VMA, and folio_mapcount() == nr_ptes.

There are corner cases to handle, such as moving mTHPs such that they 
suddenly cross two page tables I assume, that are harder to handle when 
not moving individual PTEs where that cannot happen.
