It's not a layering violation, but it is bad style.  It indicates the
function is incompletely converted to folios and probably isn't actually
folio-safe.  After about a dozen more commits, it's possible to finish
the conversion in afs_page_mkwrite(), and I do so here:

https://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache.git/commitdiff/f49f546f4ad83c8a6fec861af5f9d0825b850abc

It's still not 100% clean as afs_page_dirty() expects a head|base page
instead of a folio, so there's more cleanup required.  Also
trace_afs_page_dirty() continues to take a page instead of a folio,
but that tends to not actually be a problem.
