Provide a helper to iterate on buffer heads on a folio. We do this
as a preliminary step so to make the subsequent changes easier to
read. Right now we use an array on stack to loop over all buffer heads
in a folio of size MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE, however on CPUs where the system
page size is quite larger like Hexagon with 256 KiB page size support
this can mean the kernel can end up spewing spews stack growth
warnings.

To be able to break this down into smaller array chunks add support for
processing smaller array chunks of buffer heads at a time. The used
array size is not changed yet, that will be done in a subsequent patch,
this just adds the iterator support and logic.

While at it clarify the booleans used on bh_read_batch_async() and
how they are only valid in consideration when we've processed all
buffer-heads of a folio, that is when we're on the last buffer head in
a folio:

   * bh_folio_reads
   * unmapped
