      block: Remove special-casing of compound pages · 1b151e24

      The special casing was originally added in pre-git history; reproducing

      In the last twenty years, compound pages have become used for more than
      just hugetlb.  Rewrite these functions to operate on folios instead
      of pages and remove the special case for hugetlbfs; I don't think
      it's needed any more (and if it is, we can put it back in as a call
      to folio_test_hugetlb()).
      
      This was found by inspection; as far as I can tell, this bug can lead
      to pages used as the destination of a direct I/O read not being marked
      as dirty.  If those pages are then reclaimed by the MM without being
      dirtied for some other reason, they won't be written out.  Then when
      they're faulted back in, they will not contain the data they should.
      It'll take a pretty unusual setup to produce this problem with several
      races all going the wrong way.
      
      This problem predates the folio work; it could for example have been
      triggered by mmaping a THP in tmpfs and using that as the target of an
      O_DIRECT read.
