Export a function that repins a high-order folio at small-page granularity.
This allows any range of small pages within the folio to be unpinned later.
For example, pages pinned via memfd_pin_folios and modified by
folio_split_user_page_pin could be unpinned via unpin_user_page(s).

In V2 this has been renamed from repin_folio_unhugely, but is
otherwise unchanged from V1.
