[RFC PATCH v2 1/2] kho: Introduce a helper to init unsplit pages

Pranjal Shrivastava <[email protected]>

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The current KHO restoration logic assumes all multi-page blocks are
split into independent 4KB pages. Break out a helper to prepare for
supporting high-order non-compound pages.

Extract kho_init_unsplit_pages() to handle the refcount pattern
where only the head page is refcounted. Use the helper for folio
restoration that requires a similar refcount logic.
