Based on mm-unstable branch.

This patchset is split from the previous shmem mTHP collapse patchset [1],
as the anon mTHP collapse selftests [2] have already been merged.

This is a follow-up patchset for mTHP collapse to support shmem mTHP collapse,
which is based on Nico's patchset[3].

The shmem mTHP collapse strategy follows the anonymous mTHP collapse approach:
track present pages via a bitmap while scanning PMD ranges for collapse candidates,
then use the bitmap after the scan completes to determine the most efficient
mTHP order to collapse to. Built on the basic framework added for anonymous
mTHP collapse, the shmem mTHP collapse implementation is straightforward
(Thanks for Nico's work).

Note: I have not yet enabled large order collapse for file folios (file folios
currently only support PMD-sized large folio collapse). Although file large order
collapse would be more straightforward to implement after shmem mTHP collapse
support is added (requiring some changes to file_thp_enabled()), I think this
still need some discussion on whether it is necessary to support other large
orders collapse for file folios.

Patch 1-4: some cleanups.
Patch 5-8: preparation patches.
Patch 9-11: shmem mTHP collapse support.
Patch 12: add selftests.

Comments are welcome. Thanks.

Changes from RFC v2:
 - Rebase on the new mm-unstable branch.
 - Add some cleanup patches.
 - Drop anon mTHP collapse selftests patches as they have been merged.
 - Record swap entries when calling mthp_collapse() for shmem (per Lance).
 - Return SCAN_PTE_MAPPED_HUGEPAGE if page cache already holds a PMD-sized folio (per Lance).
 - Allow collapse order 1 folios for shmem (per Lance).

Changes from RFC v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1755677674.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com/
 - Rebase on the new code, and update to use the new functions.
 - Add more test cases.
