mm: test code to write THP to swap device as a whole
To support delay splitting THP (Transparent Huge Page) after swapped out, we need to enhance swap writing code to support to write a THP as a whole. This will improve swap write IO performance. As Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> pointed out, this should be based on multipage bvec support, which hasn't been merged yet. So this patch is only for testing the functionality of the other patches in the series. And will be reimplemented after multipage bvec support is merged.
