netfs: Prep to use folio->private for write grouping and streaming write

Prepare to use folio->private to hold information write grouping and
streaming write.  These are implemented in the same commit as they both
make use of folio->private and will be both checked at the same time in
several places.

"Write grouping" involves ordering the writeback of groups of writes, such
as is needed for ceph snaps.  A group is represented by a
filesystem-supplied object which must contain a netfs_group struct.  This
contains just a refcount and a pointer to a destructor.

"Streaming write" is the storage of data in folios that are marked dirty,
but not uptodate, to avoid unnecessary reads of data.  This is represented
by a netfs_folio struct.  This contains the offset and length of the
modified region plus the otherwise displaced write grouping pointer.

The way folio->private is multiplexed is:

 (1) If private is NULL then neither is in operation on a dirty folio.

 (2) If private is set, with bit 0 clear, then this points to a group.

 (3) If private is set, with bit 0 set, then this points to a netfs_folio
     struct (with bit 0 AND'ed out).
