Pull folio fixes from Matthew Wilcox:
"In the course of preparing the folio changes for iomap for next merge
window, we discovered some problems that would be nice to address now:
- Renaming multi-page folios to large folios.
mapping_multi_page_folio_support() is just a little too long, so we
settled on mapping_large_folio_support(). That meant renaming, eg
folio_test_multi() to folio_test_large().
Rename AS_THP_SUPPORT to match
- I hadn't included folio wrappers for zero_user_segments(), etc.
Also, multi-page^W^W large folio support is now independent of
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, so machines with HIGHMEM always need
to fall back to the out-of-line zero_user_segments().
Remove FS_THP_SUPPORT to match
- The build bots finally got round to telling me that I missed a
couple of architectures when adding flush_dcache_folio(). Christoph
suggested that we just add linux/cacheflush.h and not rely on
asm-generic/cacheflush.h"

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.
