[RFC PATCH 01/14] mm: Make folios_put() the basis of release_pages()

["Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>]

By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls
to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios.
We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size of
the batch is limited by folio_batch.
