Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] folio: Add a function to change the private data
 attached to a folio

Add a function, folio_change_private(), that will change the private data
attached to a folio, without the need to twiddle the private bit or the
refcount.  It assumes that folio_add_private() has already been called on
the page.
