Subject: [PATCH v2 04/20] mm: move hugetlb specific things in folio to page[3]

Let's just move the hugetlb specific stuff to a separate page, and stop
letting it overlay other fields for now.

This frees up some space in page[2], which we will use on 32bit to free
up some space in page[1]. While we could move these things to page[3]
instead, it's cleaner to just move the hugetlb specific things out of
the way and pack the core-folio stuff as tight as possible. ... and we
can minimize the work required in dump_folio.

We can now avoid re-initializing &folio->_deferred_list in hugetlb code.

Hopefully dynamically allocating "strut folio" in the future will further
clean this up.
