mm: add a set_page_section_from_pfn() helper
Callers that want to update section bits from a PFN currently need to open-code: set_page_section(page, pfn_to_section_nr(pfn)); and guard that sequence with #ifdef SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS. Add set_page_section_from_pfn() to wrap that update in one place. When section bits are stored in page flags, the helper derives the section number from the PFN and updates the page flags. Otherwise keep it as a no-op so callers can use one helper without open-coding SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS. Convert set_page_links() to use the new helper so later ZONE_DEVICE fast-path patches can also update section bits without open-coding SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS at each callsite. This keeps the PFN-to-section translation local to the configurations that actually store section bits in struct page flags, and avoids exposing that detail to generic callers. No functional change intended.
