Subject: [PATCH v4 2/7] mm/zone_device: Add free_zone_device_folio_prepare() helper

From: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@...el.com>

Add free_zone_device_folio_prepare(), a helper that restores large
ZONE_DEVICE folios to a sane, initial state before freeing them.

Compound ZONE_DEVICE folios overwrite per-page state (e.g. pgmap and
compound metadata). Before returning such pages to the device pgmap
allocator, each constituent page must be reset to a standalone
ZONE_DEVICE folio with a valid pgmap and no compound state.

Use this helper prior to folio_free() for device-private and
device-coherent folios to ensure consistent device page state for
subsequent allocations.

Fixes: d245f9b4ab80 ("mm/zone_device: support large zone device private folios")
