mm/filemap: use xas_try_split() in __filemap_add_folio()
Patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split", v3.
When splitting a multi-index entry in XArray from order-n to order-m,
existing xas_split_alloc()+xas_split() approach requires 2^(n %
XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node allocations. But its callers,
__filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry(), use at most 1
xa_node. To minimize xa_node allocation and remove the limitation of no
split from order-12 (or above) to order-0 (or anything between 0 and
5)[1], xas_try_split() was added[2], which allocates (n / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT -
m / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node. It is used for non-uniform folio split, but
can be used by __filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry().
xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() split an order-9 to order-0:

| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

xas_try_split() splits an order-9 to order-0:
---------------------------------
| | | | | | | | |

xas_try_split() is designed to be called iteratively with n = m + 1.
xas_try_split_mini_order() is added to minmize the number of calls to
xas_try_split() by telling the caller the next minimal order to split to
instead of n - 1. Splitting order-n to order-m when m= l * XA_CHUNK_SHIFT
does not require xa_node allocation and requires 1 xa_node when n=l *
XA_CHUNK_SHIFT and m = n - 1, so it is OK to use xas_try_split() with n >
m + 1 when no new xa_node is needed.
xfstests quick group test passed on xfs and tmpfs.

This patch (of 2):
During __filemap_add_folio(), a shadow entry is covering n slots and a
folio covers m slots with m < n is to be added. Instead of splitting all
n slots, only the m slots covered by the folio need to be split and the
remaining n-m shadow entries can be retained with orders ranging from m to
n-1. This method only requires
(n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) - (m/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT)
new xa_nodes instead of
(n % XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) * ((n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) - (m/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT))
new xa_nodes, compared to the original xas_split_alloc() + xas_split()
one. For example, to insert an order-0 folio when an order-9 shadow entry
is present (assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT is 6), 1 xa_node is needed instead of
8.
xas_try_split_min_order() is introduced to reduce the number of calls to
xas_try_split() during split.
