The code covers both folios and slab.  willy has explicitly NAKed using
folio helpers for slab.  So if we'd really want to use folio helpers
here we'd need to special case them vs slab.  That's why I keep using
the existing API for now until the block layer grows better helpers,
on which I'm waiting.

And this is not new code, it's relatively minor refactoring of the
existing code.
