Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) b27652d935 mm/filemap: Add FGP_STABLE
Allow filemap_get_folio() to wait for writeback to complete (if the
filesystem wants that behaviour).  This is the folio equivalent of
grab_cache_page_write_begin(), which is moved into the folio-compat
file as a reminder to migrate all the code using it.  This paves the
way for getting rid of AOP_FLAG_NOFS once grab_cache_page_write_begin()
is removed.

Kernel grows by 11 bytes.  filemap_get_folio() grows by 33 bytes but
grab_cache_page_write_begin() shrinks by 22 bytes to make up for it.

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.
