mm: Add functions to zero portions of a folio
These functions are wrappers around zero_user_segments(), which means that zero_user_segments() can now be called for compound pages even when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled. Use 'xend' as the name of the parameter to indicate that this is an excluded end, not the more usual included end. Excluding the end makes more sense to the callers, but can cause confusion to readers who are more used to seeing included ends.
