Hi, David,

folio_index calls swapcache_index, and swapcache_index is defined as:

#define swapcache_index(folio) __page_file_index(&(folio)->page)

Where it casts the folio to page first, then call __page_file_index,
__page_file_index is a function and works on pages.

After this commit __page_file_index is converted to
__folio_swap_cache_index. This change is a bit of trivial but we get
rid of the internal page conversion.

I can simplify the commit message, just say drop page_index to make
the code cleaner, if this is confusing.
