mm/madvise: optimize lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free

This patch optimizes lazyfreeing with PTE-mapped mTHP[1] (Inspired by
David Hildenbrand[2]).  We aim to avoid unnecessary folio splitting if the
large folio is fully mapped within the target range.

If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range.  But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up.  As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.

On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of
the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in
seconds (shorter is better):

Folio Size |   Old    |   New    | Change
