[PATCH -v3 09/10] mm, THP, swap: Support to split THP in swap cache

[Huang, Ying]

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch enhanced the split_huge_page_to_list() to work properly for
the THP (Transparent Huge Page) in the swap cache during swapping out.

This is used for delaying splitting the THP during swapping out.  Where
for a THP to be swapped out, we will allocate a swap cluster, add the
THP into the swap cache, then split the THP.  The page lock will be held
during this process.  So in the code path other than swapping out, if
the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
