[PATCH RFC v2 5/5] mm: support large folios swapin as a whole

From: Chuanhua Han <hanchuanhua at oppo.com>

On an embedded system like Android, more than half of anon memory is actually
in swap devices such as zRAM. For example, while an app is switched to back-
ground, its most memory might be swapped-out.

Now we have mTHP features, unfortunately, if we don't support large folios
swap-in, once those large folios are swapped-out, we immediately lose the
performance gain we can get through large folios and hardware optimization
such as CONT-PTE.

This patch brings up mTHP swap-in support. Right now, we limit mTHP swap-in
to those contiguous swaps which were likely swapped out from mTHP as a whole.

On the other hand, the current implementation only covers the SWAP_SYCHRONOUS
case. It doesn't support swapin_readahead as large folios yet.

Right now, we are re-faulting large folios which are still in swapcache as a
whole, this can effectively decrease extra loops and early-exitings which we
have increased in arch_swap_restore() while supporting MTE restore for folios
rather than page. On the other hand, it can also decrease do_swap_page as PTEs
used to be set one by one even we hit a large folio in swapcache.
