I'm open to that. It's a bit of rework now, but easier to do it as
part of this than as a separate series.

So, concretely:

PageReferences() becomes folio_referenced()
SetPageReferenced() becomes folio_set_referenced()
ClearPageReferenced() becomes folio_clear_referenced()
__SetFolioReferenced() becomes __folio_set_referenced()
__ClearFolioReferenced() becomes __folio_clear_referenced()
TestSetPageReferenced() becomes folio_test_set_referenced()
TestClearPageReferenced() becomes folio_test_clear_referenced()

We do have some functions already like set_page_writeback(), but I
think those can become folio_set_writeback() without doing any harm.
We also have page_is_young(), page_is_pfmemalloc(), page_is_guard(),
etc. Should it be folio_referenced()? or folio_is_referenced()?
