The next patch adds filemap_alloc_folio() which uses these.  That then
gets used in "mm/filemap: Add filemap_get_folio", which is the patch
after that.

Now that I look at this patch again, I wonder if this shouldn't be
folio_alloc(), __folio_alloc() and __folio_alloc_node.  And even though
I have no users yet, completing the set with folio_alloc_node() might
be a good idea.
