The check of is_backed_by_folio() is done on each page.
Directly move pointer to next page instead of increase one and check if it is page size aligned.
Why?

Excuse me if I misunderstand the code.
Originally, i iterate from 0 to pagesize * 4 one by one and call is_backed_by_folio() when i is 0, 4096, 8192, 12288.
The change makes i just iterate on 0, 4096, 8192, 12288 and call is_backed_by_folio() respectively.
Current code is not wrong, but not necessary to iterate one by one.
