We want to get rid of follow_page(), and have a more reasonable way to just lookup a folio mapped at a certain address, perform some checks while still under PTL, and then only conditionally grab a folio reference if really required. Further, we might want to get rid of some walk_page_range*() users that really only want to temporarily lookup a single folio at a single address. So let's add a new page table walker that does exactly that, similarly to GUP also being able to walk hugetlb VMAs. Add folio_walk_end() as a macro for now: the compiler is not easy to please with the pte_unmap()->kunmap_local(). Note that one difference between follow_page() and get_user_pages(1) is that follow_page() will not trigger faults to get something mapped. So folio_walk is at least currently not a replacement for get_user_pages(1), but could likely be extended/reused to achieve something similar in the future.
