There are situations where a change to a single PTE could cause the contpte block in which it resides to become foldable (i.e. could be repainted with the contiguous bit). Such situations arise, for example, when user space temporarily changes protections, via mprotect, for individual pages, such can be the case for certain garbage collectors. We would like to detect when such a PTE change occurs. However this can be expensive due to the amount of checking required. Therefore only perform the checks when an indiviual PTE is modified via mprotect (ptep_modify_prot_commit() -> set_pte_at() -> set_ptes(nr=1)) and only when we are setting the final PTE in a contpte-aligned block.
