We switched to two pairs of extern (to the allocator) APIs in this patch:
  folio_alloc_gigantic()
  folio_put()
and
  cma_alloc_folio()
  cma_free_folio()

alloc_contig_range and free_contig_range() also works with __GFP_COMP
/ large folios, but this pair is internal (to the allocator) and
shouldn't be used directly except to implement external APIs like
above.
