The single "real" user in the tree of make_device_exclusive_range() always requests making only a single address exclusive. The current implementation is hard to fix for properly supporting anonymous THP / large folios and for avoiding messing with rmap walks in weird ways. So let's always process a single address/page and return folio + page to minimize page -> folio lookups. This is a preparation for further changes. Reject any non-anonymous or hugetlb folios early, directly after GUP. While at it, extend the documentation of make_device_exclusive() to clarify some things.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
