This brings mlock in line with the folio batches declared in mm/swap.c and makes the code more consistent across the two. The existing mechanism for identifying which operation each folio in the batch is undergoing is maintained, i.e. using the lower 2 bits of the struct folio address (previously struct page address). This should continue to function correctly as folios remain at least system word-aligned. All invocations of mlock() pass either a non-compound page or the head of a THP-compound page and no tail pages need updating so this functionality works with struct folios being used internally rather than struct pages. In this patch the external interface is kept identical to before in order to maintain separation between patches in the series, using a rather awkward conversion from struct page to struct folio in relevant functions. However, this maintenance of the existing interface is intended to be temporary - the next patch in the series will update the interfaces to accept folios directly.

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.
