<title>mm: introduce a pageflag for partially mapped folios</title>

<id>8422acdc97ed5839692b45f800dbfb78abe65a94</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently folio-&gt;_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped
folios that are going to be split under memory pressure.  In the next
patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also
going to be tracked using _deferred_list.

This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between
partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in
deferred_split_scan.  Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements
_mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be
possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in
deferred_split_scan.

Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially
mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the
flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next
patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

This flag has similar constraints to PG_owner_priv_1 -- it is ignored by
core code, and is entirely for the use of the code which allocated the
folio.  Since the pagecache does not use it, individual filesystems can
use it.  The bufferhead code does use it, so filesystems which use the
buffer cache must not use it for another purpose.

While there are many aliases for this flag, nobody actually uses the
