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.
