Baolin Wang a67fe41e21 mm: rmap: support batched unmapping for file large folios
Similar to folio_referenced_one(), we can apply batched unmapping for file
large folios to optimize the performance of file folios reclamation.

Barry previously implemented batched unmapping for lazyfree anonymous
large folios[1] and did not further optimize anonymous large folios or
file-backed large folios at that stage.  As for file-backed large folios,
the batched unmapping support is relatively straightforward, as we only
need to clear the consecutive (present) PTE entries for file-backed large
folios.

Note that it's not ready to support batched unmapping for uffd case, so
let's still fallback to per-page unmapping for the uffd case.

Performance testing:
Allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and
try to reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface.  I
can observe 75% performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and
50%+ improvement on my X86 machine) with this patch.
