Subject: mm: memory: rename page_copy_prealloc() to folio_prealloc()
Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2023 10:32:30 +0800
Let's rename page_copy_prealloc() to folio_prealloc(), which could be
reused in more functons, as it maybe zero the new page, pass a new
need_zero to it, and call the vma_alloc_zeroed_movable_folio() if
need_zero is true.
