[RFC PATCH v2 2/9] mm: let swap_read_folio() report retryable zswap races

[fujunjie <fujunjie1@qq.com>]

Large zswap loads need a way to ask the caller to drop a speculative large
swapcache folio and retry order-0. A void swap_read_folio() cannot express
that without turning a backend race into an IO failure.

Return int from swap_read_folio() and reserve -EAGAIN for retryable large
zswap races. Existing order-0 paths keep treating the read as before; the
synchronous swapin path only warns for now. A later patch will consume
-EAGAIN and retry order-0.
