This is the equivalent of page_cache_get_speculative().  Also add
folio_ref_try_add_rcu (the equivalent of page_cache_add_speculative)
and folio_get_unless_zero() (the equivalent of get_page_unless_zero()).

The new kernel-doc attempts to explain from the user's point of view
when to use folio_try_get_rcu() and when to use folio_get_unless_zero(),
because there seems to be some confusion currently between the users of
page_cache_get_speculative() and get_page_unless_zero().

Reimplement page_cache_add_speculative() and page_cache_get_speculative()
as wrappers around the folio equivalents, but leave get_page_unless_zero()
alone for now.
