mm: add folio_zero_tail() and use it in ext4

Patch series "Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()".

I'm trying to make it easier for filesystems with tailpacking / stuffing /
inline data to use folios.  The primary function here is
folio_fill_tail().  You give it a pointer to memory where the data
currently is, and it takes care of copying it into the folio at that
offset.  That works for gfs2 & iomap.  Then There's Ext4.  Rather than gin
up some kind of specialist "Here's a two pointers to two blocks of memory"
routine, just let it do its current thing, and let it call
folio_zero_tail(), which is also called by folio_fill_tail().

Other filesystems can be converted later; these ones seemed like good
examples as they're already partly or completely converted to folios.


This patch (of 3):

Instead of unmapping the folio after copying the data to it, then mapping
it again to zero the tail, provide folio_zero_tail() to zero the tail of
an already-mapped folio.
