fscrypt: support decrypting data from large folios
Try to make the filesystem-level decryption functions in fs/crypto/
aware of large folios. This includes making fscrypt_decrypt_bio()
support the case where the bio contains large folios, and making
fscrypt_decrypt_pagecache_blocks() take a folio instead of a page.
There's no way to actually test this with large folios yet, but I've
tested that this doesn't cause any regressions.
Note that this patch just handles *decryption*, not encryption which
will be a little more difficult.
