The 'shmem_falloc->nr_unswapped' is used to record how many writepage
refused to swap out because fallocate() is allocating, but after shmem
supports large folio swap out, the update of 'shmem_falloc->nr_unswapped'
does not use the correct number of pages in the large folio, which may
lead to fallocate() not exiting as soon as possible.
Anyway, this is found through code inspection, and I am not sure whether
it would actually cause serious issues.
