This patch makes MTE tags saving and restoring support large folios,

arch_prepare_to_swap() should take folio rather than page as parameter
because we support THP swap-out as a whole.

Meanwhile, arch_swap_restore() should use page parameter rather than
folio as swap-in always works at the granularity of base pages right
now.

... but then we always have order-0 folios and can pass a folio, or what am I missing?


arch_thp_swp_supported() is dropped since ARM64 MTE was the only one
who needed it.

Can we do that separately?
