Checking that an address range is backed by a folio of a given order is
useful to any test that builds or collapses large folios. mTHP collapse
coverage in the khugepaged selftest needs exactly that.

split_huge_page_test.c already has the building block:
is_backed_by_folio() reads the compound head and tail flags from
/proc/kpageflags to classify the folio behind a page.

Move it into vm_util so other tests can use it. No functional change.
