6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>

commit 058313515d5aab10d0a01dd634f92ed4a4e71d4c upstream.

Alex and Kairui reported some issues (system hang or data corruption) when
swapping out or swapping in large shmem folios.  This is especially easy
to reproduce when the tmpfs is mount with the 'huge=within_size'
parameter.  Thanks to Kairui's reproducer, the issue can be easily
replicated.

The root cause of the problem is that swap readahead may asynchronously
swap in order 0 folios into the swap cache, while the shmem mapping can
still store large swap entries.  Then an order 0 folio is inserted into
the shmem mapping without splitting the large swap entry, which overwrites
the original large swap entry, leading to data corruption.

When getting a folio from the swap cache, we should split the large swap
entry stored in the shmem mapping if the orders do not match, to fix this
issue.
