Commit d0637c505f8a1 ("arm64: enable THP_SWAP for arm64") brings up
THP_SWAP on ARM64, but it doesn't enable THP_SWP on hardware with
MTE as the MTE code works with the assumption tags save/restore is
always handling a folio with only one page.

The limitation should be removed as more and more ARM64 SoCs have
this feature. Co-existence of MTE and THP_SWAP becomes more and
more important.

This patch makes MTE tags saving support large folios, then we don't
need to split large folios into base pages for swapping out on ARM64
SoCs with MTE any more.

arch_prepare_to_swap() should take folio rather than page as parameter
because we support THP swap-out as a whole. It saves tags for all
pages in a large folio.

Meanwhile, arch_swap_restore() now moves to use page parameter rather
than folio because swap-in, refault and MTE tags are working at the
granularity of base pages rather than folio:
1. a large folio in swapcache can be partially unmapped, thus, MTE
tags for the unmapped pages will be invalidated;
2. users might use mprotect() to set MTEs on a part of a large folio.

Thus, it won't be easy to manage MTE tags at the granularity of folios
since we do have some cases in which a part of pages in a large folios
have valid tags, while the other part of pages haven't. Furthermore,
trying to restore MTE tags for a whole folio can lead to many loops and
early exiting even if the large folio in swapcache are still entirely
mapped since do_swap_page() only sets PTE and frees swap for the base
page where PF is happening.

But we still have a chance to restore tags for a whole large folio
once we support swap-in large folio. So this job is deferred till we
can do refault and swap-in as a large folio.

arch_thp_swp_supported() is dropped since ARM64 MTE was the only one
who needed it.

I would argue that using mprotect() to set MTEs on part of a large folio
should cause that folio to be split.  Could the user give us any
stronger signal that this memory is being used for different purposes,
and therefore should not be managed as a single entity?

I strongly disagree with changing the interface to arch_swap_restore()
from folio to page.

I agree this probably makes sense here. But splitting is best effort as I
understand it? It can fail due to long-term GUP, right? In which case we still
have to handle the MTE on partial large folio case safely, even if not performantly.

As an aside, I don't think it's clear cut that we would always prefer to split
based on user space mprotect/madvise/etc calls. IIUC, there are garbage
collectors that temporarily mark pages RO then switch back to RW. I wouldn't
want to split here and lose the benefits of contpte forever. I'm handwaving
because I haven't looked into the exact mechanisms yet. But I think we need to
understand these users better before deciding on an "always split based on user
hints" policy.
