David Howells 78525c74d9 netfs, 9p, afs, ceph: Use folios
Convert the netfs helper library to use folios throughout, convert the 9p
and afs filesystems to use folios in their file I/O paths and convert the
ceph filesystem to use just enough folios to compile.

With these changes, afs passes -g quick xfstests.

Changes
=======
ver #5:
 - Got rid of folio_end{io,_read,_write}() and inlined the stuff it does
   instead (Willy decided he didn't want this after all).

ver #4:
 - Fixed a bug in afs_redirty_page() whereby it didn't set the next page
   index in the loop and returned too early.
 - Simplified a check in v9fs_vfs_write_folio_locked()[1].
 - Undid a change to afs_symlink_readpage()[1].
 - Used offset_in_folio() in afs_write_end()[1].
 - Changed from using page_endio() to folio_end{io,_read,_write}()[1].

ver #2:
 - Add 9p foliation.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
