IMO, the issue solved by commit 859d4adc3415 is about shared CoW
mapping, and I prefer to measure it in another patch:)

Yes, good catch, even though below iteration can skip over the parts
that exceed the size of that folio.

Yes, this looks good to me. Will do in next version. Thanks.

I thought about it, but things are a little tricky. The folio may not
contain continuous protnone PTEs, should skip non-present or
non-protnone PTEs.

Moreover, it is necessary to define architecture-specified
ptep_modify_prot_start*_nr and ptep_modify_prot_commit*_nr that can
handle multiple PTEs, which is in my TODO list including batch numa
scanning in change_pte_range().
