netfs: Fix folio->private handling in netfs_perform_write()
Under some circumstances, netfs_perform_write() doesn't correctly
manipulate folio->private between NULL, NETFS_FOLIO_COPY_TO_CACHE, pointing
to a group and pointing to a netfs_folio struct, leading to potential
multiple attachments of private data with associated folio ref leaks and
also leaks of netfs_folio structs or netfs_group refs.

Fix this by consolidating the place at which a folio is marked uptodate in
one place and having that look at what's attached to folio->private and
decide how to clean it up and then set the new group.  Also, the content
shouldn't be flushed if group is NULL, even if a group is specified in the
netfs_group parameter, as that would be the case for a new folio.  A
filesystem should always specify netfs_group or never specify netfs_group.

The Sashiko auto-review tool noted that it was theoretically possible that
the fpos >= ctx->zero_point section might leak if it modified a streaming
write folio.  This is unlikely, but with a network filesystem, third party
changes can happen.  It also pointed out that __netfs_set_group() would
leak if called multiple times on the same folio from the "whole folio
modify section".
