The tmpfs could support large folio, but there is some configurable
options(mount options and runtime deny/force) to enable/disable large
folio allocation, so there is a performance issue when perform write
without large folio, the issue is similar to commit 4e527d5841e2
("iomap: fault in smaller chunks for non-large folio mappings").

Since 'deny' for emergencies and 'force' for testing, performence issue
should not be a problem in the real production environments, so only
don't call mapping_set_large_folios() in __shmem_get_inode() when
large folio is disabled with mount huge=never option(default policy).

Fixes: 9aac777aaf94 ("filemap: Convert generic_perform_write() to support large folios")
