Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mm/huge_memory: introduce uniform_split_unmapped_folio_to_zero_order

When freeing a high-order folio that contains HWPoison pages,
to ensure these HWPoison pages are not added to buddy allocator,
we can first uniformly split a free and unmapped high-order folio
to 0-order folios first, then only add non-HWPoison folios to
buddy allocator and exclude HWPoison ones.

Introduce uniform_split_unmapped_folio_to_zero_order, a wrapper
to the existing __split_unmapped_folio. Caller can use it to
uniformly split an unmapped high-order folio into 0-order folios.

No functional change. It will be used in a subsequent commit.
