     Let's make it clearer that we are always working on folio flags and
     never page flags of tail pages by converting remaining PG_arch_1 users
     that modify page->flags to modify folio->flags instead.
     
     No functional change intended, because we would always have worked with
     the head page (where page->flags corresponds to folio->flags) and never
     with tail pages.
