mm: shmem: support large folio swap out
Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better
performance, however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large
folios when trying to swap out shmem, which may lead to the memory
fragmentation issue and can not take advantage of the large folio for
shmeme.
Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio
without split, hence this patch set supports the large folio swap out for
shmem.
Note the i915_gem_shmem driver still need to be split when swapping, thus
add a new flag 'split_large_folio' for writeback_control to indicate
spliting the large folio.
