[PATCH v4 1/5] folio: Add a function to change the private data attached to a folio

[David Howells]

Add a function, folio_change_private(), that will change the private data
attached to a folio, without the need to twiddle the private bit or the
refcount.  It assumes that folio_add_private() has already been called on
the page.
