mm: mlock: use folios and a folio batch internally

Browse source 
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.
