David Hildenbrand dd80cfd487 mm: split folio_pte_batch() into folio_pte_batch() and folio_pte_batch_flags()
Many users (including upcoming ones) don't really need the flags etc, and
can live with the possible overhead of a function call.

So let's provide a basic, non-inlined folio_pte_batch(), to avoid code
bloat while still providing a variant that optimizes out all flag checks
at runtime.  folio_pte_batch_flags() will get inlined into
folio_pte_batch(), optimizing out any conditionals that depend on input
flags.

folio_pte_batch() will behave like folio_pte_batch_flags() when no flags
are specified.  It's okay to add new users of folio_pte_batch_flags(), but
using folio_pte_batch() if applicable is preferred.

So, before this change, folio_pte_batch() was inlined into the C file
optimized by propagating constants within the resulting object file.

With this change, we now also have a folio_pte_batch() that is optimized
by propagating all constants.  But instead of having one instance per
object file, we have a single shared one.

In zap_present_ptes(), where we care about performance, the compiler
already seem to generate a call to a common inlined folio_pte_batch()
variant, shared with fork() code.  So calling the new non-inlined variant
should not make a difference.

While at it, drop the "addr" parameter that is unused.

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 reStructuredText 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.
