Add routines to support allocation of large order zone device folios
and helper functions for zone device folios, to check if a folio is
device private and helpers for setting zone device data.
When large folios are used, the existing page_free() callback in
pgmap is called when the folio is freed, this is true for both
PAGE_SIZE and higher order pages.

Minor nit, but why not call this zone_device_folio_init() to keep the naming
consistent with zone_device_page_init()?

The above comment says we should do this for all tail pages, but this appears to
do it for the head page as well. Is there a particular reason for that?

Why is this needed/added, and where is the associated get_dev_pagemap()? Note
that the whole {get|put}_dev_pagemap() thing is basically unused now. Which
reminds me I should send a patch to remove it.

See above for some bike-shedding on the name.

Shouldn't this happen for order > 0 not 1? What about calling
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&folio->_deferred_list)? Last time I looked prep_compound_page()
didn't do that and I see above you are calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() so
I assume you need to do this for DEVICE_PRIVATE pages too.

The original code clears the head page (when the folio is not large), the only
page. I don't think the head page can be skipped.
