"Two folio fixes for 5.18.

Darrick and Brian have done amazing work debugging the race I created
in the folio BIO iterator. The readahead problem was deterministic, so
easy to fix.

- Fix a race when we were calling folio_next() in the BIO folio iter
without holding a reference, meaning the folio could be split or
freed, and we'd jump to the next page instead of the intended next
folio.

- Fix readahead creating single-page folios instead of the intended
large folios when doing reads that are not a power of two in size"

mm/readahead: Fix readahead with large folios

Reading 100KB chunks from a big file (eg dd bs=100K) leads to poor
readahead behaviour. Studying the traces in detail, I noticed two
problems.

The first is that we were setting the readahead flag on the folio which
contains the last byte read from the block. This is wrong because we
will trigger readahead at the end of the read without waiting to see
if a subsequent read is going to use the pages we just read. Instead,
we need to set the readahead flag on the first folio _after_ the one
which contains the last byte that we're reading.

The second is that we were looking for the index of the folio with the
readahead flag set to exactly match the start + size - async_size.
If we've rounded this, either down (as previously) or up (as now),
we'll think we hit a folio marked as readahead by a different read,
and try to read the wrong pages. So round the expected index to the
order of the folio we hit.

Pull filesystem folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
"Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations to
take a folio instead of a page.

Notably:

- a_ops->is_partially_uptodate() takes a folio instead of a page and
changes the type of the 'from' and 'count' arguments to make it
obvious they're bytes.

- a_ops->invalidatepage() becomes ->invalidate_folio() and has a
similar type change.

- a_ops->launder_page() becomes ->launder_folio()

- a_ops->set_page_dirty() becomes ->dirty_folio() and adds the
address_space as an argument.

mm: improve cleanup when ->readpages doesn't process all pages

If ->readpages doesn't process all the pages, then it is best to act as
though they weren't requested so that a subsequent readahead can try
again.

So:

- remove any 'ahead' pages from the page cache so they can be loaded
with ->readahead() rather then multiple ->read()s

- update the file_ra_state to reflect the reads that were actually
submitted.

This allows ->readpages() to abort early due e.g. to congestion, which
will then allow us to remove the inode_read_congested() test from
page_Cache_async_ra().

mm: document and polish read-ahead code

Add some "big-picture" documentation for read-ahead and polish the code
to make it fit this documentation.

The meaning of ->async_size is clarified to match its name. i.e. Any
request to ->readahead() has a sync part and an async part. The caller
will wait for the sync pages to complete, but will not wait for the
async pages. The first async page is still marked PG_readahead

Note that the current function names page_cache_sync_ra() and
page_cache_async_ra() are misleading. All ra request are partly sync
and partly async, so either part can be empty. A page_cache_sync_ra()
request will usually set ->async_size non-zero, implying it is not all
synchronous.

When a non-zero req_count is passed to page_cache_async_ra(), the
implication is that some prefix of the request is synchronous, though
the calculation made there is incorrect - I haven't tried to fix it.
