Before this patch, introduce a folio_set_stable_node() (and convert the
one caller which already has a folio).  I'd do it the other way around
from ksm_get_folio(); that is:

static inline void folio_set_stable_node(struct folio *folio,
		struct ksm_stable_node *stable_node)
{
	set_page_stable_node(&folio->page, stable_node);
}

and then we can merge the two later when there are no more calls to
set_page_stable_node().
