mm: thp: use folio_batch to handle THP splitting in deferred_split_scan()
The maintenance of the folio->_deferred_list is intricate because it's reused in a local list. Here are some peculiarities: 1) When a folio is removed from its split queue and added to a local on-stack list in deferred_split_scan(), the ->split_queue_len isn't updated, leading to an inconsistency between it and the actual number of folios in the split queue. 2) When the folio is split via split_folio() later, it's removed from the local list while holding the split queue lock. At this time, the lock is not needed as it is not protecting anything. 3) To handle the race condition with a third-party freeing or migrating the preceding folio, we must ensure there's always one safe (with raised refcount) folio before by delaying its folio_put(). More details can be found in commit e66f3185fa04 ("mm/thp: fix deferred split queue not partially_mapped"). It's rather tricky. We can use the folio_batch infrastructure to handle this clearly. In this case, ->split_queue_len will be consistent with the real number of folios in the split queue. If list_empty(&folio->_deferred_list) returns false, it's clear the folio must be in its split queue (not in a local list anymore). In the future, we will reparent LRU folios during memcg offline to eliminate dying memory cgroups, which requires reparenting the split queue to its parent first. So this patch prepares for using folio_split_queue_lock_irqsave() as the memcg may change then.
