Expand it to also accept an array of encoded page pointers, which is what both the existing mlock() use and the upcoming mmu_gather use of encoded page pointers wants. Note that release_pages() won't actually use, or react to, any extra encoded bits. Instead, this is very much a case of "I have walked the array of encoded pages and done everything the extra bits tell me to do, now release it all". Also, while the "either page or folio pointers" dual use was handled with a cast of the pointer in "release_folios()", this takes a slightly different approach and uses the "transparent union" attribute to describe the set of arguments to the function: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Type-Attributes.html which has been supported by gcc forever, but the kernel hasn't used before. That allows us to avoid using various wrappers with casts, and just use the same function regardless of use.
