mm: migrate high-order folios in swap cache correctly

Large folios occupy N consecutive entries in the swap cache instead of
using multi-index entries like the page cache.  However, if a large folio
is re-added to the LRU list, it can be migrated.  The migration code was
not aware of the difference between the swap cache and the page cache and
assumed that a single xas_store() would be sufficient.

This leaves potentially many stale pointers to the now-migrated folio in
the swap cache, which can lead to almost arbitrary data corruption in the
future.  This can also manifest as infinite loops with the RCU read lock
held.
