If the requested page is part of the previous multi-page folio, there
is no need to call read_mapping_folio() again.

Also, get rid of the remaining one of page-&gt;index [1] in our codebase.

Most of the callers of erofs_read_metabuf() have the following form:

	block = erofs_blknr(sb, offset);
	off = erofs_blkoff(sb, offset);
	p = erofs_read_metabuf(...., erofs_pos(sb, block), ...);
	if (IS_ERR(p))
		return PTR_ERR(p);
	q = p + off;
	// no further uses of p, block or off.

The value passed to erofs_read_metabuf() is offset rounded down to block
size, i.e. offset - off.  Passing offset as-is would increase the return
value by off in case of success and keep the return value unchanged in
in case of error.  In other words, the same could be achieved by

	q = erofs_read_metabuf(...., offset, ...);
	if (IS_ERR(q))
		return PTR_ERR(q);

This commit convert these simple cases.

just lift the call of erofs_pos() into the callers; it will
collapse in most of them, but that's better done caller-by-caller.

Callers are happier that way, especially since we no longer need to
play with splitting offset into block number and offset within block,
passing the former to erofs_bread(), then adding the latter...

erofs_bread() always reads entire pages, anyway.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
  device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
  support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
  devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
  operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.

  That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
  to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
  that return a bdev_handle.

  Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
  equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
  devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
  introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
  bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
  file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
  opening and closing a file.

  This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
  block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
  places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
  kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
  Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
  file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
  closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.

  The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
  is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
  We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
  are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
  removable completely.

  A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
  possible to remove bdev-&gt;bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
  buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
  now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
  block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

There are mainly two reasons that thp_get_unmapped_area() should be
used for EROFS as other filesystems:

 - It's needed to enable PMD mappings as a FSDAX filesystem, see
   commit 74d2fad1334d ("thp, dax: add thp_get_unmapped_area for pmd
   mappings");

 - It's useful together with large folios and
   CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS which enable THPs for mmapped files
   (e.g. shared libraries) even without FSDAX.  See commit 1854bc6e2420
   ("mm/readahead: Align file mappings for non-DAX").

Fixes: 06252e9ce05b ("erofs: dax support for non-tailpacking regular file")
