Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2024 20:26:28 +1200

The function should_try_to_free_swap() operates under the assumption that
swap-in always occurs at the normal page granularity, i.e., folio_nr_pages
= 1.  However, in reality, for large folios, add_to_swap_cache() will
invoke folio_ref_add(folio, nr).  To accommodate large folio swap-in, this
patch eliminates this assumption.
