rolling_buffer_load_from_ra() looms large in the perf report because it
loops around doing an atomic clear for each of the three mark bits per
folio. However, this is both inefficient (it would be better to build a
mask and atomically AND them out) and unnecessary as they shouldn't be set.
Fix this by removing the loop.

A rolling buffer is a series of folios held in a list of folio_queues. New
folios and folio_queue structs may be inserted at the head simultaneously
with spent ones being removed from the tail without the need for locking.
The rolling buffer includes an iov_iter and it has to be careful managing
this as the list of folio_queues is extended such that an oops doesn't
incurred because the iterator was pointing to the end of a folio_queue
segment that got appended to and then removed.
We need to use the mechanism twice, once for read and once for write, and,
in future patches, we will use a second rolling buffer to handle bounce
buffering for content encryption.
