[PATCH 1/5] mm: add PSI accounting around ->read_folio and ->readahead calls

PSI tries to account for the cost of bringing back in pages discarded by
the MM LRU management. Currently the prime place for that is hooked into
the bio submission path, which is a rather bad place:

- it does not actually account I/O for non-block file systems, of which
we have many
- it adds overhead and a layering violation to the block layer

Add the accounting into the two places in the core MM code that read
pages into an address space by calling into ->read_folio and ->readahead
so that the entire file system operations are covered, to broaden
the coverage and allow removing the accounting in the block layer going
forward.

As psi_memstall_enter can deal with nested calls this will not lead to
double accounting even while the bio annotations are still present.
