Why do we export shmem_get_pfn/shmem_put_pfn and not simply

get_folio()

and let the caller deal with putting the folio? What's the reason to

a) Operate on PFNs and not folios
b) Have these get/put semantics?

Can we instead prove a dummy function that does nothing without
CONFIG_MEMFILE_NOTIFIER?
