Above two functions are also used in other two places in this file, lets
create a common function for these two operations.


I was thinking about this, out of the 2 other places one is
`__iommu_free_desc` where we are supposed to subtract pgcnt.. but I
think we can follow the -pgcnt pattern we have currently and add a
helper `iommu_folio_update_stats(folio, pgcnt)` where we can pass -pgcnt
to subtract nr_pages? Something like:

+static inline void iommu_folio_update_stats(struct folio *folio, long nr_pages)
+{
+ mod_node_page_state(folio_pgdat(folio), NR_IOMMU_PAGES, nr_pages);
+ lruvec_stat_mod_folio(folio, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE, nr_pages);
+}

@@ -86,8 +91,7 @@ static void __iommu_free_desc(struct ioptdesc *iopt)
if (IOMMU_PAGES_USE_DMA_API)
WARN_ON_ONCE(iopt->incoherent);

- mod_node_page_state(folio_pgdat(folio), NR_IOMMU_PAGES, -pgcnt);
- lruvec_stat_mod_folio(folio, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE, -pgcnt);
+ iommu_folio_update_stats(folio, -(long)pgcnt);
folio_put(folio);
}

But I'm unsure if passing -(long)pgcnt is a good idea?

mod_node_page_state() takes last argument as "long" and I can see other
examples of passing -folio_nr_pages(folio) directly into it. So we can
just keep it as following:

iommu_folio_update_stats(folio, -pgcnt);

I think it is a good cleanup. I will update this in the next revision.
