Shaohua Li 5bc7b8aca9 mm: thp: add split tail pages to shrink page list in page reclaim
In page reclaim, huge page is split.  split_huge_page() adds tail pages
to LRU list.  Since we are reclaiming a huge page, it's better we
reclaim all subpages of the huge page instead of just the head page.
This patch adds split tail pages to shrink page list so the tail pages
can be reclaimed soon.

Before this patch, run a swap workload:
  thp_fault_alloc 3492
  thp_fault_fallback 608
  thp_collapse_alloc 6
  thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
  thp_split 916

With this patch:
  thp_fault_alloc 4085
  thp_fault_fallback 16
  thp_collapse_alloc 90
  thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
  thp_split 1272

fallback allocation is reduced a lot.
