Add largest_zero_folio() routine so that huge_zero_folio can be
[largest]_zero_folio() can sound a bit confusing with largest in it's
name. Maybe optimal_zero_folio()? 

No hard opinion though. Will leave it upto you.

used directly when CONFIG_STATIC_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO is enabled. This will
return ZERO_PAGE folio if CONFIG_STATIC_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO is disabled or
if we failed to allocate a huge_zero_folio.
