Now that swap supports storing all mTHP sizes, avoid splitting large folios before swap-out. This benefits performance of the swap-out path by eliding split_folio_to_list(), which is expensive, and also sets us up for swapping in large folios in a future series. If the folio is partially mapped, we continue to split it since we want to avoid the extra IO overhead and storage of writing out pages uneccessarily.
