[PATCH v2 07/37] mm/memremap: reject unreasonable folio/compound page sizes in memremap_pages()

Let's reject unreasonable folio sizes early, where we can still fail.
We'll add sanity checks to prepare_compound_head/prepare_compound_page
next.

Is there a way to configure a system such that unreasonable folio sizes
would be possible? It would already be rather questionable.

If so, we'd probably want to bail out earlier, where we can avoid a
WARN and just report a proper error message that indicates where
something went wrong such that we messed up.
