Replace clear_bit_and_unlock_is_negative_byte() with xor_unlock_is_negative_byte(). We have a few places that like to lock a folio, set a flag and unlock it again. Allow for the possibility of combining the latter two operations for efficiency. We are guaranteed that the caller holds the lock, so it is safe to unlock it with the xor. The caller must guarantee that nobody else will set the flag without holding the lock; it is not safe to do this with the PG_dirty flag, for example.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
