mm: introduce arch_do_swap_page_nr() which allows restore metadata for nr pages

Should do_swap_page() have the capability to directly map a large folio,
metadata restoration becomes necessary for a specified number of pages
denoted as nr.  It's important to highlight that metadata restoration is
solely required by the SPARC platform, which, however, does not enable
THP_SWAP.  Consequently, in the present kernel configuration, there exists
no practical scenario where users necessitate the restoration of nr
metadata.  Platforms implementing THP_SWAP might invoke this function with
nr values exceeding 1, subsequent to do_swap_page() successfully mapping
an entire large folio.  Nonetheless, their arch_do_swap_page_nr()
functions remain empty.
