mm/huge_memory: change folio_split_supported() to folio_check_splittable()

Patch series "Improve folio split related functions", v4.

This patchset improves several folio split related functions to avoid
future misuse.  The changes are:

1. Consolidated folio splittable checks by moving truncated folio check,
   huge zero folio check, and writeback folio check into
   folio_split_supported(). Changed the function return type. Renamed it
   to folio_check_splittable() for clarification.

2. Replaced can_split_folio() with open coded folio_expected_ref_count()
   and folio_ref_count() and introduced folio_cache_ref_count().

3. Changed min_order_for_split() to always return an order.

4. Fixed folio split stats counting.

Motivation
==========
This is based on Wei's observation[1] and solves several potential
issues:
1. Dereferencing NULL folio->mapping in try_folio_split_to_order() if it
   is called on truncated folios.
2. Not handling of negative return value of min_order_for_split() in
   mm/memory-failure.c

There is no bug in the current code.


This patch (of 4):

folio_split_supported() used in try_folio_split_to_order() requires
folio->mapping to be non NULL, but current try_folio_split_to_order() does
not check it.  There is no issue in the current code, since
try_folio_split_to_order() is only used in truncate_inode_partial_folio(),
where folio->mapping is not NULL.

To prevent future misuse, move folio->mapping NULL check (i.e., folio is
truncated) into folio_split_supported().  Since folio->mapping NULL check
returns -EBUSY and folio_split_supported() == false means -EINVAL, change
folio_split_supported() return type from bool to int and return error
numbers accordingly.  Rename folio_split_supported() to
folio_check_splittable() to match the return type change.

While at it, move is_huge_zero_folio() check and folio_test_writeback()
check into folio_check_splittable() and add kernel-doc.

Remove all warnings inside folio_check_splittable() and give warnings
in __folio_split() instead, so that bool warns parameter can be removed.
