[PATCH] ramfs: convert alloc_pages() to folio_alloc() in ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping()

[AnishMulay]

Currently, ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() utilizes the deprecated
alloc_pages() API. This patch converts the allocation step to use
the modern folio_alloc() API, removing a legacy caller and helping
pave the way for the eventual removal of alloc_pages().

Because nommu architectures require physically contiguous memory that
often needs to be trimmed to the exact requested size, the allocated
folio is immediately shattered using split_page().

Since split_page() destroys the compound folio metadata, using folio
iteration helpers (like folio_page) becomes unsafe. Therefore, this
patch deliberately drops back to a standard struct page array after
the split. This safely isolates the folio conversion to the allocation
phase while strictly preserving the existing trimming and page cache
insertion behavior.
