An idea suddenly struck me: we might not need to split the folio into
order 0. Instead,
if we attempt to obtain swap entries at a certain order but fail, we
could try at half the
order. If successful, we could utilize Zi Yan's approach to split the
large folios into two
smaller ones(still large folios) but not nr_pages small folios.
Please disregard this comment for now since we don't have any data regarding
THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK of mTHP.
