mm: add folio_expected_ref_count() for reference count calculation

Patch series " JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" v5.

This patchset addresses a warning that occurs during memory compaction due
to JFS's missing migrate_folio operation.  The warning was introduced by
commit 7ee36472 ("migrate: Remove call to ->writepage") which added
explicit warnings when filesystem don't implement migrate_folio.

The syzbot reported following [1]:
  jfs_metapage_aops does not implement migrate_folio

To fix this issue, this series implement metapage_migrate_folio() for JFS
which handles both single and multiple metapages per page configurations.

While most filesystems leverage existing migration implementations like
filemap_migrate_folio(), buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() or
buffer_migrate_folio() (which internally used folio_expected_refs()),
JFS's metapage architecture requires special handling of its private data
during migration.  To support this, this series introduce the
folio_expected_ref_count(), which calculates external references to a
folio from page/swap cache, private data, and page table mappings.

This standardized implementation replaces the previous ad-hoc
folio_expected_refs() function and enables JFS to accurately determine
whether a folio has unexpected references before attempting migration.




Implement folio_expected_ref_count() to calculate expected folio reference
counts from:
- Page/swap cache (1 per page)
- Private data (1)
- Page table mappings (1 per map)

While originally needed for page migration operations, this improved
implementation standardizes reference counting by consolidating all
refcount contributors into a single, reusable function that can benefit
any subsystem needing to detect unexpected references to folios.

The folio_expected_ref_count() returns the sum of these external
references without including any reference the caller itself might hold. 
Callers comparing against the actual folio_ref_count() must account for
their own references separately.
