[PATCH v3 03/18] mm: Add free_unref_folios()

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

Iterate over a folio_batch rather than a linked list.  This is easier for
the CPU to prefetch and has a batch count naturally built in so we don't
need to track it.  Again, this lowers the maximum lock hold time from
32 folios to 15, but I do not expect this to have a significant effect.
