Currently dax is the only user of pmd and pud mapped ZONE_DEVICE
pages. Therefore page walkers that want to exclude DAX pages can check
pmd_devmap or pud_devmap. However soon dax will no longer set PFN_DEV,
meaning dax pages are mapped as normal pages.
Ensure page walkers that currently use pXd_devmap to skip DAX pages
continue to do so by adding explicit checks of the VMA instead.

I assume we could also just refuse dax folios, right?
If we decide to check VMAs, we should probably check earlier.
But I wonder, what about anonymous non-dax pages in COW mappings? Is it
possible? Not supported?
If supported, checking the actual folio would be the right thing to do.
