When a folio isn't fit for KSM, the subpages are unlikely to be good,
So let's skip the rest page checking to save some actions.

You might be jumping over pages that don't belong to that folio. What you would actually want to do is somehow use folio_pte_batch() to really know the PTEs point at the same folio, so you can skip them. But that's not that easy when using follow_page() ...

So I suggest dropping this change for now.
