I would convert alloc_page_buffers() to folio_alloc_buffers() and
add

static struct buffer_head *alloc_page_buffers(struct page *page,
		unsigned long size, bool retry)
{
	return folio_alloc_buffers(page_folio(page), size, retry);
}

in buffer_head.h

(there are only five callers, so this feels like a better tradeoff
than creating a new function)
