Subject: Documentation/mm: Update references to __m[un]lock_page() to *_folio()
Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2022 19:48:33 +0000

We now pass folios to these functions, so update the documentation
accordingly.

Additionally, correct the outdated reference to __pagevec_lru_add_fn(), the
referenced action occurs in __munlock_folio() directly now.
