mm: make swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate
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.
