Jinjiang Tu 0faa77afe7 filemap: optimize folio refount update in filemap_map_pages
There are two meaningless folio refcount update for order0 folio in
filemap_map_pages().  First, filemap_map_order0_folio() adds folio
refcount after the folio is mapped to pte.  And then, filemap_map_pages()
drops a refcount grabbed by next_uptodate_folio().  We could remain the
refcount unchanged in this case.

As Matthew metenioned in [1], it is safe to call folio_unlock() before
calling folio_put() here, because the folio is in page cache with refcount
held, and truncation will wait for the unlock.

Optimize filemap_map_folio_range() with the same method too.

With this patch, we can get 8% performance gain for lmbench testcase
'lat_pagefault -P 1 file' in order0 folio case, the size of file is 512M.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
