Add largest_zero_folio() routine so that huge_zero_folio can be
used without the need to pass any mm struct. This will return ZERO_PAGE
folio if CONFIG_STATIC_PMD_ZERO_PAGE is disabled or if we failed to
allocate a PMD page from memblock.

This routine can also be called even if THP is disabled.

No need for "extern".

Nit: if (!huge_zero_folio), but see below

I assume this check is only in place to handle whether static allocation failed, correct?

READ_ONCE should not be required if it cannot get freed.

Could we do:

static inline struct folio *largest_zero_folio(void)
{
	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_STATIC_PMD_ZERO_PAGE) &&
 	    likely(huge_zero_folio))
		return huge_zero_folio;
	return page_folio(ZERO_PAGE(0));
}
