David Howells a34847d4b7 afs: Don't use folio->private to record partial modification
AFS currently uses folio->private to store the range of bytes within a
folio that have been modified - the idea being that if we have, say, a 2MiB
folio and someone writes a single byte, we only have to write back that
single page and not the whole 2MiB folio - thereby saving on network
bandwidth.

Remove this, at least for now, and accept the extra network load (which
doesn't matter in the common case of writing a whole file at a time from
beginning to end).

This makes folio->private available for netfslib to use.
