Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 020853b6f5 mm: Add folio_try_get_rcu()
This is the equivalent of page_cache_get_speculative().  Also add
folio_ref_try_add_rcu (the equivalent of page_cache_add_speculative)
and folio_get_unless_zero() (the equivalent of get_page_unless_zero()).

The new kernel-doc attempts to explain from the user's point of view
when to use folio_try_get_rcu() and when to use folio_get_unless_zero(),
because there seems to be some confusion currently between the users of
page_cache_get_speculative() and get_page_unless_zero().

Reimplement page_cache_add_speculative() and page_cache_get_speculative()
as wrappers around the folio equivalents, but leave get_page_unless_zero()
alone for now.  This commit reduces text size by 3 bytes due to slightly
different register allocation & instruction selections.

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.
