mm/damon/ops-common: factor out damon_putback_folio_list()

This commit factors out the duplicated putback loop in
damon_migrate_folio_list() and damon_migrate_pages() into a new
damon_putback_folio_list() helper. The commit notes state this removes
the need for the local folio variable.

[Severity: Low]
The commit message notes that removing the folio variable here won't cause
a build failure. However, does damon_migrate_folio_list() still use the
folio variable in its first while-loop?

Looking at the remaining code in damon_migrate_folio_list():

	while (!list_empty(folio_list)) {
		cond_resched();

		folio = lru_to_folio(folio_list);
		list_del(&folio->lru);

		if (!folio_trylock(folio))
			goto keep;

Will this cause an undeclared identifier compilation error since the variable
was removed from the function scope but not re-declared locally inside this
loop block?
