PSI tries to account for the cost of bringing back in pages discarded by
the MM LRU management.  Currently the prime place for that is hooked into
the bio submission path, which is a rather bad place:

 - it does not actually account I/O for non-block file systems, of which
   we have many
 - it adds overhead and a layering violation to the block layer

Add the accounting into the two places in the core MM code that read
pages into an address space by calling into ->read_folio and ->readahead
so that the entire file system operations are covered, to broaden
the coverage and allow removing the accounting in the block layer going
forward.

As psi_memstall_enter can deal with nested calls this will not lead to
double accounting even while the bio annotations are still present.

I think this would read better as:

  	/* Start the actual read. The read will unlock the page. */
	if (unlikely(workingset)) {
		psi_memstall_enter(&pflags);
		error = filler(file, folio);
		psi_memstall_leave(&pflags);
	} else {
		error = filler(file, folio);
	}
  	if (error)
  		return error;

I don't have time to look at this properly right now (about to catch a
bus to the plane), but I think this should be |=, not =?

Yes.

I had it both ways.  For any non-trivial code in the conditionals I
tend to go with your version all the time.  But for two times a single
lines both variants tends to suck, so I can live with either one.

This is much cleaner. With the fixlet Willy pointed out:
