Prepare to use folio->private to hold information write grouping and
streaming write. These are implemented in the same commit as they both
make use of folio->private and will be both checked at the same time in
several places.
"Write grouping" involves ordering the writeback of groups of writes, such
as is needed for ceph snaps. A group is represented by a
filesystem-supplied object which must contain a netfs_group struct. This
contains just a refcount and a pointer to a destructor.
"Streaming write" is the storage of data in folios that are marked dirty,
but not uptodate, to avoid unnecessary reads of data. This is represented
by a netfs_folio struct. This contains the offset and length of the
modified region plus the otherwise displaced write grouping pointer.
The way folio->private is multiplexed is:
(1) If private is NULL then neither is in operation on a dirty folio.
(2) If private is set, with bit 0 clear, then this points to a group.
(3) If private is set, with bit 0 set, then this points to a netfs_folio
struct (with bit 0 AND'ed out).

Provide tools to create a buffer in an xarray, with a function to add new
folios with a mark. This will be used to create bounce buffer and can be
used more easily to create a list of folios the span of which would require
more than a page's worth of bio_vec structs.

Provide default invalidate_folio and release_folio calls. These will need
to interact with invalidation correctly at some point. They will be needed
if netfslib is to make use of folio->private for its own purposes.

Move the resource pinning-for-writeback from fscache code to netfslib code.
This is used to keep a cache backing object pinned whilst we have dirty
pages on the netfs inode in the pagecache such that VM writeback will be
able to reach it.
Whilst we're at it, switch the parameters of netfs_unpin_writeback() to
match ->write_inode() so that it can be used for that directly.
Note that this mechanism could be more generically useful than that for
network filesystems. Quite often they have to keep around other resources
(e.g. authentication tokens or network connections) until the writeback is
complete.
