[RFC,0/2] minor cleanup of usage of flush_dcache_folio()

Message

When tried to review the usage of flush_dcache_folio(), noticed several
unnecessary call to flush_dcache_folio(). Patch1 removes them.

Patch2 adds zero_user_folio_segment() which has same function as
zero_user_segment() but with folio as parameter. And use
flush_dcache_folio() to flush cache instead of loop call flush_dcache_page().

Test:
Boot and run firefox/email/editor with Qemu x86_64 system.

The base is next-20230214.

Yin Fengwei (2):
  mm: remove duplicated flush_dcache_folio()
  mm: add zero_user_folio_segments()
