mm/pagewalk: introduce folio_walk_start() + folio_walk_end()

We want to get rid of follow_page(), and have a more reasonable way to
just lookup a folio mapped at a certain address, perform some checks while
still under PTL, and then only conditionally grab a folio reference if
really required.

Further, we might want to get rid of some walk_page_range*() users that
really only want to temporarily lookup a single folio at a single address.

So let's add a new page table walker that does exactly that, similarly to
GUP also being able to walk hugetlb VMAs.

Add folio_walk_end() as a macro for now: the compiler is not easy to
please with the pte_unmap()->kunmap_local().

Note that one difference between follow_page() and get_user_pages(1) is
that follow_page() will not trigger faults to get something mapped.  So
folio_walk is at least currently not a replacement for get_user_pages(1),
but could likely be extended/reused to achieve something similar in the
future.

+ *
+ * Walk the page tables using @addr in a given @vma to a mapped folio and

+ *
+ * As default, this function returns only folios that are not special (e.g., not
+ * the zeropage) and never returns folios that are supposed to be ignored by the
+ * VM as documented by vm_normal_page(). If requested, zeropages will be
+ * returned as well.
+ *
+ * As default, this function only considers present page table entries.
+ * If requested, it will also consider migration entries.
+ *
+ * If this function returns NULL it might either indicate "there is nothing" or
+ * "there is nothing suitable".
+ *
+ * On success, @fw is filled and the function returns the folio while the PTL
+ * is still held and folio_walk_end() must be called to clean up,
+ * releasing any held locks. The returned folio must *not* be used after the
+ * call to folio_walk_end(), unless a short-term folio reference is taken before
+ * that call.
+ *
+ * @fw->page will correspond to the page that is effectively referenced by
+ * @addr. However, for migration entries and shared zeropages @fw->page is
+ * set to NULL. Note that large folios might be mapped by multiple page table
+ * entries, and this function will always only lookup a single entry as
+ * specified by @addr, which might or might not cover more than a single page of
+ * the returned folio.
+ *
+ * This function must *not* be used as a naive replacement for
+ * get_user_pages() / pin_user_pages(), especially not to perform DMA or
+ * to carelessly modify page content. This function may *only* be used to grab
+ * short-term folio references, never to grab long-term folio references.
+ *
+ * Using the page table entry pointers in @fw for reading or modifying the
+ * entry should be avoided where possible: however, there might be valid
+ * use cases.
+ *
+ * WARNING: Modifying page table entries in hugetlb VMAs requires a lot of care.
+ * For example, PMD page table sharing might require prior unsharing. Also,
+ * logical hugetlb entries might span multiple physical page table entries,
+ * which *must* be modified in a single operation (set_huge_pte_at(),
+ * huge_ptep_set_*, ...). Note that the page table entry stored in @fw might
+ * not correspond to the first physical entry of a logical hugetlb entry.
+ *
+ * The mmap lock must be held in read mode.
+ *
+ * Return: folio pointer on success, otherwise NULL.
