The new vm_normal_pmd_folio() wrapper is similar to vm_normal_folio(),
which allow them to completely replace the struct page variables with
struct folio variables.

Why do not follow the counterpart of page (vm_normal_page_pmd()) to be
vm_normal_folio_pmd()?

Personally, X_pmd_folio seems to get folio from a pmd, but X_folio_pmd looks like "return the PMD of a folio", I could use vm_normal_folio_pmd() for consistency, thanks.
