Subject: mm: add folio_flush_mapping()

This is the folio equivalent of page_mapping_file(), but rename it to make
it clear that it's very different from page_file_mapping(). 
Theoretically, there's nothing flush-only about it, but there are no other
users today, and I doubt there will be; it's almost always more useful to
know the swapfile's mapping or the swapcache's mapping.
