We want to mark anonymous pages exclusive, and when using page_move_anon_rmap() we know that we are the exclusive user, as properly documented. This is a preparation for marking anonymous pages exclusive in page_move_anon_rmap(). In both instances, we're holding page lock and are sure that we're the exclusive owner (page_count() == 1). hugetlb already properly uses page_move_anon_rmap() in the write fault handler. Note that in case of a PTE-mapped THP, we'll only end up calling this function if the whole THP is only referenced by the single PTE mapping a single subpage (page_count() == 1); consequently, it's fine to modify the compound page mapping inside page_move_anon_rmap().
