Eliminate a use of page->mapping by using vmalloc_to_folio() instead.

Thanks a lot. This function is very wonderful. It is also what I need.

I am wondering whether we should check the return value of vmalloc_to_page()?

That's a good question.  Almost every user of vmalloc_to_page() just
assumes it works.  But it'll cost very little to check for NULL, so
I'll put that into the next version.  Thanks!

Total nit, and quite possibly unnecessary, but it might be nice to have a
comment pointing out that vmalloc_to_page can and will return tail pages hence
the need for page_folio() and thus _compound_head().

This makes me wonder about a typedef or wrapper type which explicitly indicates
that a function is _intentionally_ returning something that might be a head or a
tail page. But perhaps once foliofication is complete, this is what struct page
or its memdesc replacement will become?
