I am not sure why need this alignment?
(1) For a partially mapped THP, 'range.start' and 'range.end' can beyond 
the VMA limits. For a PMD mapped THP, I think the address is already THP 
size alignment returned from vma_address(&folio->page, vma).
(2) The range.end is not used.

IMO, you should also make the 'pvmw.ptl = NULL;' after unlocking as 
page_vma_mapped_walk() did, in case some corner case met.
