Huang Ying 7ba716698c mm, swap, frontswap: fix THP swap if frontswap enabled 
It was reported by Sergey Senozhatsky that if THP (Transparent Huge
Page) and frontswap (via zswap) are both enabled, when memory goes low
so that swap is triggered, segfault and memory corruption will occur in
random user space applications as follow,

kernel: urxvt[338]: segfault at 20 ip 00007fc08889ae0d sp 00007ffc73a7fc40 error 6 in libc-2.26.so[7fc08881a000+1ae000]

After bisection, it was found the first bad commit is bd4c82c22c ("mm,
THP, swap: delay splitting THP after swapped out").

The root cause is as follows:

When the pages are written to swap device during swapping out in
swap_writepage(), zswap (fontswap) is tried to compress the pages to
improve performance.  But zswap (frontswap) will treat THP as a normal
page, so only the head page is saved.  After swapping in, tail pages
will not be restored to their original contents, causing memory
corruption in the applications.

This is fixed by refusing to save page in the frontswap store functions
if the page is a THP.  So that the THP will be swapped out to swap
device.

Another choice is to split THP if frontswap is enabled.  But it is found
that the frontswap enabling isn't flexible.  For example, if
CONFIG_ZSWAP=y (cannot be module), frontswap will be enabled even if
zswap itself isn't enabled.

Frontswap has multiple backends, to make it easy for one backend to
enable THP support, the THP checking is put in backend frontswap store
functions instead of the general interfaces.
