This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate.
When khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages
in swap area.
With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when
there are up to max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range.
The patch was tested with a test program that allocates
400B of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force
the system to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program
touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each
20 pages of the area.
Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead.
THP rate was %65 of the program of the memory, it
did not change over time.
With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had
collapsed %99 of the program's memory.

Changes in v2:
- Use FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY|FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT flag
instead of 0x0 when called do_swap_page from
__collapse_huge_page_swapin (Rik van Riel)
Changes in v3:
- Catch VM_FAULT_HWPOISON and VM_FAULT_OOM return cases
in __collapse_huge_page_swapin (Kirill A. Shutemov)
Changes in v4:
- Fix broken indentation reverting if (...) statement in
__collapse_huge_page_swapin (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Fix check statement of ret (Kirill A. Shutemov)
- Use swapped_in name instead of swap_pte
Changes in v5:
- Export do_swap_page in mm/internal.h instead outside
of mm (Vlastimil Babka)
Test results:
