Documentation/mm: update references to __m[un]lock_page() to *_folio()
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 Additionally, correct the outdated reference to __pagevec_lru_add_fn(), the referenced action occurs in __munlock_folio() directly now, replace reference to lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() with the modern folio equivalent folio_add_lru_vma() and reference folio flags by the flag name rather than accessor.
