mm: shmem: fix potential data corruption during shmem swapin
Alex and Kairui reported some issues (system hang or data corruption) when swapping out or swapping in large shmem folios. This is especially easy to reproduce when the tmpfs is mount with the 'huge=within_size' parameter. Thanks to Kairui's reproducer, the issue can be easily replicated. The root cause of the problem is that swap readahead may asynchronously swap in order 0 folios into the swap cache, while the shmem mapping can still store large swap entries. Then an order 0 folio is inserted into the shmem mapping without splitting the large swap entry, which overwrites the original large swap entry, leading to data corruption. When getting a folio from the swap cache, we should split the large swap entry stored in the shmem mapping if the orders do not match, to fix this issue.
