[PATCH v2 2/5] mm: Allow deferred splitting of arbitrary large anon folios

With the introduction of large folios for anonymous memory, we would
like to be able to split them when they have unmapped subpages, in order
to free those unused pages under memory pressure. So remove the
artificial requirement that the large folio needed to be at least
PMD-sized.
