netfs: Abstract out a rolling folio buffer implementation



A rolling buffer is a series of folios held in a list of folio_queues.  New
folios and folio_queue structs may be inserted at the head simultaneously
with spent ones being removed from the tail without the need for locking.

The rolling buffer includes an iov_iter and it has to be careful managing
this as the list of folio_queues is extended such that an oops doesn't
incurred because the iterator was pointing to the end of a folio_queue
segment that got appended to and then removed.

We need to use the mechanism twice, once for read and once for write, and,
in future patches, we will use a second rolling buffer to handle bounce
buffering for content encryption.
