mm: set the pte dirty if the folio is already dirty

Patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()", v2.

Today if you have a folio and want to create a PTE that points to the
first page in it, you have to convert from a folio to a page.  That's
zero-cost today but will be more expensive in the future.

I didn't want to add folio_mk_pte() to each architecture, and I didn't
want to lose any optimisations that architectures have from their own
implementation of mk_pte().  Fortunately, most architectures have by now
turned their mk_pte() into a fairly bland variant of pfn_pte(), but s390
has a special optimisation that needs to be moved into generic code in the
first patch.

At the end of this patch set, we have mk_pte() and folio_mk_pte() in mm.h
and each architecture only has to implement pfn_pte().  We've also
eliminated mk_huge_pte(), mk_huge_pmd() and mk_pmd().


This patch (of 11):

If the first access to a folio is a read that is then followed by a write,
we can save a page fault.  s390 implemented this in their mk_pte() in
commit abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits"), but other
architectures can also benefit from this.
