mm: add largest_zero_folio() routine

The callers of mm_get_huge_zero_folio() have access to a mm struct and the
lifetime of the huge_zero_folio is tied to the lifetime of the mm struct.

largest_zero_folio() will give access to huge_zero_folio when
PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO config option is enabled for callers that do
not want to tie the lifetime to a mm struct.  This is very useful for
filesystem and block layers where the request completions can be async and
there is no guarantee on the mm struct lifetime.

This function will return a ZERO_PAGE folio if PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO
is disabled or if we failed to allocate a huge_zero_folio during early
init.
