Commit Message

Now that swap supports storing all mTHP sizes, avoid splitting large
folios before swap-out. This benefits performance of the swap-out path
by eliding split_folio_to_list(), which is expensive, and also sets us
up for swapping in large folios in a future series.

If the folio is partially mapped, we continue to split it since we want
to avoid the extra IO overhead and storage of writing out pages
uneccessarily.

THP_SWPOUT and THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK counters should continue to count
events only for PMD-mappable folios to avoid user confusion. THP_SWPOUT
already has the appropriate guard. Add a guard for THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK.
It may be appropriate to add per-size counters in future.

Please violate the 80 chars rule where reasonable.

"
Statements longer than 80 columns should be broken into sensible chunks, 
unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases readability and does 
not hide information.
"


Likely some of that code here should be refactored into readable 
sub-functions.

codingstyle also mentions

"The answer to that is that if you need more than 3 levels of 
indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program."

Boo! :)

Yeah, no problem, I'll sort this.
