Cheyenne Wills ec14690531 Linux: Define Clear/Set PageError macros as NOPs
The Linux 6.12 commit 'mm: remove PG_error' (09022bc196d23) removed
the PG_error page flag and the associated ClearPageError() and
SetPageError() functions (via removing the PAGEFLAG(Error, ...) macro).
The PG_error flag has not been used by core VFS/MM Linux code for some
time, possibly ever, and so our calls to these functions do not have any
practical effect, since we also do not check for the PG_error flag.
While we could simply remove these calls, play it safe and keep them
around until ClearPageError()/SetPageError() are removed.

The specific semantics of the PG_error flag are not completely well
defined in the Linux kernel, which appears to be one of the motivations
for its removal. Some Linux commits that mention some details on how the
flag is not useful for read errors include:

  7edf1ec5b249 ceph: don't SetPageError on readpage errors
  41a638a1b3fc affs: convert affs_symlink_read_folio() to use the folio
  2b2553f12355 btrfs: stop setting PageError in the data I/O path

Add a configure test to see if ClearPageError()/SetPageError() are
available in the Linux kernel; if they are not, define
ClearPageError()/SetPageError() as no-ops.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
