Convert unlock_page() to call folio_unlock(). By using a folio we avoid a call to compound_head(). This shortens the function from 39 bytes to 25 and removes 4 instructions on x86-64. Because we still have unlock_page(), it's a net increase of 16 bytes of text for the kernel as a whole, but any path that uses folio_unlock() will execute 4 fewer instructions.

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.
