Add large folio support for tmpfs write and fallocate paths matching the
same high order preference mechanism used in the iomap buffered IO path
as used in __filemap_get_folio().

Add shmem_mapping_size_orders() to get a hint for the orders of the folio
based on the file size which takes care of the mapping requirements.

Traditionally, tmpfs only supported PMD-sized huge folios. However nowadays
with other file systems supporting any sized large folios, and extending
anonymous to support mTHP, we should not restrict tmpfs to allocating only
PMD-sized huge folios, making it more special. Instead, we should allow
tmpfs can allocate any sized large folios.

Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the huge
folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to allow any sized huge
folios. The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option are:

huge=never: no any sized huge folios
huge=always: any sized huge folios
huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size
huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with fadvise()/madvise()

Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still
allocate the PMD-sized huge folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is set.

Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same
semantics. The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while
the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs.

We can allow all orders up to MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER, shmem_mapping_size_orders() handles it properly.

So maybe we should drop this condition and use instead below where we have

return BIT(HPAGE_PMD_ORDER);

instead something like.

return HPAGE_PMD_ORDER > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER ? 0 : BIT(HPAGE_PMD_ORDER);

Ideally, factoring it out somehow


int maybe_pmd_order = HPAGE_PMD_ORDER > MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER ? 0 : BIT(HPAGE_PMD_ORDER);

...

return maybe_pmd_order;

Why not force-enable all orders (of course, respecting MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER and possibly VMA)?

I think the point here is that "write" -> no VMA -> vm_flags == 0 -> no code changes needed :)
