Subject: mm/huge_memory: move unrelated code out of __split_unmapped_folio()
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2025 13:18:22 -0400

remap(), folio_ref_unfreeze(), lru_add_split_folio() are not relevant to
splitting unmapped folio operations.  Move them out to the caller so that
__split_unmapped_folio() only handles unmapped folio splits.  This makes
__split_unmapped_folio() reusable.

Convert VM_BUG_ON(mapping) to use VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO().
