Merge tag 'folio-6.0' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache
Pull folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
- Fix an accounting bug that made NR_FILE_DIRTY grow without limit
when running xfstests
- Convert more of mpage to use folios
- Remove add_to_page_cache() and add_to_page_cache_locked()
- Convert find_get_pages_range() to filemap_get_folios()
- Improvements to the read_cache_page() family of functions
- Remove a few unnecessary checks of PageError
- Some straightforward filesystem conversions to use folios
- Split PageMovable users out from address_space_operations into
their own movable_operations
- Convert aops->migratepage to aops->migrate_folio
- Remove nobh support (Christoph Hellwig)
