Subject[PATCH v2 4/4] Documentation/mm: Update references to __m[un]lock_page() to *_folio()
Date
We now pass folios to these functions, so update the documentation
accordingly.

Additionally, correct the outdated reference to __pagevec_lru_add_fn(), the
referenced action occurs in __munlock_folio() directly now.
