Subject: [RESEND RFC v4 3/3] mm: make swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate

This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate.
When khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages
in swap area.

With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when
there are up to max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range.

The patch was tested with a test program that allocates
800MB of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force
the system to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program
touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each
20 pages of the area.

Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead.
THP rate was %47 of the program of the memory, it
did not change over time.

With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had
collapsed %90 of the program's memory.

Changes in v2:
 - Use FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY|FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT flag
   instead of 0x0 when called do_swap_page from
   __collapse_huge_page_swapin (Rik van Riel)

Changes in v3:
 - Catch VM_FAULT_HWPOISON and VM_FAULT_OOM return cases
   in __collapse_huge_page_swapin (Kirill A. Shutemov)

Changes in v4:
 - Fix broken indentation reverting if (...) statement in
   __collapse_huge_page_swapin (Kirill A. Shutemov)
 - Fix check statement of ret (Kirill A. Shutemov)
 - Use swapped_in name instead of swap_pte
