Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm: convert do_set_pmd() to take a folio

In do_set_pmd(), we always use the folio->page to build PMD mappings for
the entire folio. Since all callers of do_set_pmd() already hold a stable
folio, converting do_set_pmd() to take a folio is safe and more straightforward.

In addition, to ensure the extensibility of do_set_pmd() for supporting
larger folios beyond PMD size, we keep the 'page' parameter to specify
which page within the folio should be mapped.

No functional changes expected.

Changes from v1:
 - Keep the 'page' parameter of the do_set_pmd().

Note: I did mm selftests and built kernel on tmpfs/xfs filesystems, and
did not find any regression.
