[PATCH RFC 18/29] mm: remove __folio_test_movable()

Convert to page_has_movable_ops(). While at it, cleanup relevant code
a bit.

The data_race() in migrate_folio_unmap() is questionable: we already
hold a page reference, and concurrent modifications can no longer
happen (iow: __ClearPageMovable() no longer exists). Drop it for now,
we'll rework page_has_movable_ops() soon either way to no longer
rely on page->mapping.

Wherever we cast from folio to page now is a clear sign that this
code has to be decoupled.
