Replace the manual rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs combined
with for_each_process() loop in mm/memory-failure.c with
for_each_process_rculock(), which scopes the RCU read lock to the
loop body via scoped_guard(rcu).

In collect_procs_file(), the page_pgoff() call now falls outside the
RCU read-side critical section.  This is safe because page_pgoff()
only reads folio->index and does not traverse any RCU-protected
structures.
