Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] smaps: set THPeligible if file mapping supports large folios

File-backed memory can be backed by THPs either through collapse, when
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is enabled, or through fault, when the
filesystem supports large folio mappings.

Currently, smaps only knows about the former, so teach it about the
latter.
