[PATCH v5 5/6] mm: vmscan: Avoid split during shrink_folio_list()

[Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com>]

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.
