Patch series "Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition", v2. Pankaj recently added folio_create_empty_buffers() as the folio equivalent to create_empty_buffers(). This patch set finishes the conversion by first converting all remaining filesystems to call folio_create_empty_buffers(), then renaming it back to create_empty_buffers(). I took the opportunity to make a few simplifications like making folio_create_empty_buffers() return the head buffer and extracting get_nth_bh() from nilfs2. A few of the patches in this series aren't directly related to create_empty_buffers(), but I saw them while I was working on this and thought they'd be easy enough to add to this series. Compile-tested only, other than ext4. This patch (of 26): Almost all callers want to know the first BH that was allocated for this folio. We already have that handy, so return it.

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.
