The pointers stored in the page cache are folios, by definition.
This change comes with a behaviour change -- callers of readahead_folio()
are no longer required to put the page reference themselves.  This matches
how readpage works, rather than matching how readpages used to work.

For some of the things I'm looking at, this is actually inconvenient, but I
guess I can take an extra ref if I need it.
