A folio in the swap cache occupies folio_nr_pages() contiguous swap
entries starting at folio->swap, so a page's swap entry is just
folio->swap plus the page's index in the folio. The swap entry is
folio state, but the only helper for it is page-based:
page_swap_entry() takes a page and recomputes the folio its callers
already hold. Several callers avoid it by open-coding the arithmetic
on folio->swap instead.
Add folio_swap_entry() and folio_page_swap_entry(), convert all users,
and remove page_swap_entry(), with a few other cleanups along the way.

mm/zswap: convert the store path to take a folio and index
mm/swapfile: use folio_page_swap_entry()
arm64: mte: make mte_save_tags() and mte_restore_tags() static
