mm/vmscan: Free non-shmem folios without splitting them
We have to allocate memory in order to split a file-backed folio, so it's not a good idea to split them in the memory freeing path. It also doesn't work for XFS because pages have an extra reference count from page_has_private() and split_huge_page() expects that reference to have already been removed. Unfortunately, we still have to split shmem THPs because we can't handle swapping out an entire THP yet. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>
