My plan for that is:

 - Add copy_folio_from_iter() wrapper
 - Convert all users
 - Convert all users of copy_page_to_iter()
 - Convert copy_page_to_iter_nofault() to copy_folio_to_iter_nofault()
   (it has one user)
 - Convert page_copy_sane() to folio_copy_sane()

But this is pretty low priority compared to all the other page->folio
conversions that need to happen.  So many filesystems ...
