Muchun Song 2771739a71 mm: fix missing cache flush for all tail pages of compound page 
The D-cache maintenance inside move_to_new_page() only consider one
page, there is still D-cache maintenance issue for tail pages of
compound page (e.g. THP or HugeTLB).

THP migration is only enabled on x86_64, ARM64 and powerpc, while
powerpc and arm64 need to maintain the consistency between I-Cache and
D-Cache, which depends on flush_dcache_page() to maintain the
consistency between I-Cache and D-Cache.

But there is no issues on arm64 and powerpc since they already considers
the compound page cache flushing in their icache flush function.
HugeTLB migration is enabled on arm, arm64, mips, parisc, powerpc,
riscv, s390 and sh, while arm has handled the compound page cache flush
in flush_dcache_page(), but most others do not.

In theory, the issue exists on many architectures.  Fix this by not
using flush_dcache_folio() since it is not backportable.

README 

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.
