[PATCH 0/4] convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers

[Pankaj Raghav]

One of the first kernel panic we hit when we try to increase the
block size > 4k is inside create_page_buffers()[1]. Even though buffer.c
function do not support large folios (folios > PAGE_SIZE) at the moment,
these changes are required when we want to remove that constraint.

Willy had already mentioned that he wanted to convert create_page_buffers to
folio_create_buffers but didn't get to it yet, so I decided to take a
shot.

No functional changes introduced.

Changes since RFC[2]:
- Renaming the helpers with folio_*
- Calling folio_* helper version inside the *page* helper.
