Alas tmpfs uses its own shmem_file_read_iter() and doesn't call back
into generic_perform_write().  But I was looking at the ramfs aops and
thinking those looked ripe for large folio support, so I thought I'd take
care of this part first since it potentially affects every filesystem
that uses generic_file_write_iter() / __generic_file_write_iter() /
generic_perform_write().

This is also a great opporunity for someone to tell me "Actually I have
plans in this area and ..."
