fs/proc/page.c: In function 'stable_page_flags':
fs/proc/page.c:152:35: warning: passing argument 1 of 'folio_test_pmd_mappable' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  152 |  else if (folio_test_pmd_mappable(folio)) {

include/linux/huge_mm.h:380:58: note: expected 'struct folio *' but argument is of type 'const struct folio *'

u64 stable_page_flags(const struct page *page)
{
	const struct folio *folio; // the const definition causes the warning
	...
}

As almost all the folio_test_XXX(flags) have converted to received
a const parameter, it is Ok to also do this for folio_order()?
