[PATCH RFC 12/28] buffer: prevent memory cgroup release in folio_alloc_buffers()

[Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>]

In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding
memory cgroup. To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to
hold the rcu read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup
returned by folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.

In the current patch, the function get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is
employed to safeguard against the release of the memory cgroup.
This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the
LRU pages.
