John Groves 59eb73b98a dax: Factor out dax_folio_reset_order() helper
Both fs/dax.c:dax_folio_put() and drivers/dax/fsdev.c:
fsdev_clear_folio_state() (the latter coming in the next commit after this
one) contain nearly identical code to reset a compound DAX folio back to
order-0 pages. Factor this out into a shared helper function.

The new dax_folio_reset_order() function:
- Clears the folio's mapping and share count
- Resets compound folio state via folio_reset_order()
- Clears PageHead and compound_head for each sub-page
- Restores the pgmap pointer for each resulting order-0 folio
- Returns the original folio order (for callers that need to advance by
  that many pages)

Two intentional differences from the original dax_folio_put() logic:

1. folio->share is cleared unconditionally. This is correct because the DAX
   subsystem maintains the invariant that share != 0 only when
   mapping == NULL (enforced by dax_folio_make_shared()). dax_folio_put()
   ensures share has reached zero before calling this helper, so the
   unconditional clear is safe.

2. folio->pgmap is now explicitly restored for order-0 folios. For the
   dax_folio_put() caller this is a no-op (reads and writes back the same
   field). It is intentional for the upcoming fsdev_clear_folio_state()
   caller, which converts previously-compound folios and needs pgmap
   re-established for all pages regardless of order.

This simplifies fsdev_clear_folio_state() from ~50 lines to ~15 lines.
