Subject: erofs: use folio_attach/detach_private() instead of direct assignment

erofs_onlinefolio_init/split/end() use folio->private without setting
PG_private or increasing folio refcount and it works.  But after
PG_private is replaced by checking folio->private in a future commit, it
can break folio_expected_ref_count(), since the folio has private data
without elevated refcount.  Change them to use
folio_attach/detach_private().  Folios during this process are locked as
they are in the process of readahead, so no parallel migration/folio split
can happen.

Furthermore, because folio->private is used to store in-flight I/O counter
and the counter reaches 0 when all I/O completes successfully without
error or being dirty, ->private=0 causes folio_detach_private() to not
drop the elevated folio refcount.  Solve this issue by using bias=1 for
the counter, so that ->private stays non NULL throughout every
attach-to-detach process.  Add a macro EROFS_ONLINEFOLIO_BIAS=1.  While at
it, fix the comment about ->private bit layout and add
EROFS_ONLINEFOLIO_COUNT_MASK.

It prepares for a future commit that removes PG_private.
