Subject: [PATCH v1 3/3] mm/truncate: use folio_split() for truncate operation.

Instead of splitting the large folio uniformly during truncation, use
buddy allocator like split at the start of truncation range to minimize
the number of resulting folios.

For example, to truncate a order-4 folio
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 15]
between [3, 10] (inclusive), folio_split() splits the folio to
[0,1], [2], [3], [4..7], [8..15] and [3], [4..7] can be dropped and
[8..15] is kept with zeros in [8..10].

It is possible to further do a folio_split() at 10, so more resulting
folios can be dropped. But it is left as future possible optimization
if needed.

Another possible optimization is to make folio_split() to split a folio
based on a given range, like [3..10] above. But that complicates
folio_split(), so it will investigated when necessary.
