[CHANGELOG]
v2:
- Adda new patch to do more cleanups for metadata page pointers usage

This patchset would migrate extent_buffer::pages[] to folios[], then
cleanup the existing metadata page pointer usage to proper folios ones.

This cleanup would help future higher order folios usage for metadata in
the following aspects:

- No more need to iterate through the remaining pages for page flags
  We just call folio_set/mark/start_*() helpers, for the single folio.
  The helper would only set the flag (mostly for the leading page).

- Single bio_add_folio() call for the whole eb

- Better filio helpers naming
  PageUptodate() compared to folio_test_uptodate().

The first patch would do a very simple conversion, then the 2nd patch do
the prepartion for the higher order folio situation.

There are two locations which won't be converted to folios yet:

- Subpage code
  There is no meaning to support higher order folio for subpage.
  The two conditions are just conflicting with each other.

- Data page pointers
  That would be more useful in the future, before we going to support
  multi-page sectorsize.

However the 2nd one would also add a new corner case:

- Order mismatch in filemap and eb folios
  Unforatunately I don't have a better plan other than re-allocate the
  folios to the same order.
  Maybe in the future we would have better ways to handle it? Like
  migrating the pages to the higher order one?
