[PATCH v2 2/9] mm/vmscan: remove unneeded can_split_huge_page check

[Miaohe Lin]

We don't need to check can_split_folio() because folio_maybe_dma_pinned()
is checked before. It will avoid the long term pinned pages to be swapped
out. And we can live with short term pinned pages. Without can_split_folio
checking we can simplify the code. Also activate_locked can be changed to
keep_locked as it's just short term pinning.
