netfs: Prep to use folio->private for write grouping and streaming write
Prepare to use folio->private to hold information write grouping and streaming write. These are implemented in the same commit as they both make use of folio->private and will be both checked at the same time in several places. "Write grouping" involves ordering the writeback of groups of writes, such as is needed for ceph snaps. A group is represented by a filesystem-supplied object which must contain a netfs_group struct. This contains just a refcount and a pointer to a destructor. "Streaming write" is the storage of data in folios that are marked dirty, but not uptodate, to avoid unnecessary reads of data. This is represented by a netfs_folio struct. This contains the offset and length of the modified region plus the otherwise displaced write grouping pointer. The way folio->private is multiplexed is: (1) If private is NULL then neither is in operation on a dirty folio. (2) If private is set, with bit 0 clear, then this points to a group. (3) If private is set, with bit 0 set, then this points to a netfs_folio struct (with bit 0 AND'ed out).
