As Hugh said:
"
The i915 THP splitting inshmem_writepage() was to avoid mm VM_BUG_ONs and
crashes when shmem.c did not support huge page swapout: but now you are
enabling that support, and such VM_BUG_ONs and crashes are gone (so far
as I can see: and this is written on a laptop using the i915 driver).

I cannot think of why i915 itself would care how mm implements swapout
(beyond enjoying faster): I think all the wbc->split_large_folio you
introduce here should be reverted.
"

So this fixup patch will remove the wbc->split_large_folio as suggested
by Hugh.
