Subject: [PATCH] kpageflags: detect isolated KPF_THP folios

From: Ran Xiaokai <ran.xiaokai@....com.cn>

When folio is isolated, the PG_lru bit is cleared. So the PG_lru
check in stable_page_flags() will miss this kind of isolated folios.
Use folio_test_large_rmappable() instead to also include isolated folios.

Since pagecache supports large folios and the introduction of mTHP,
the semantics of KPF_THP have been expanded, now it indicates
not only PMD-sized THP. Update related documentation to clearly state
that KPF_THP indicates multiple order THPs.
