From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
The filemap_get_incore_folio (previously find_get_incore_page) helper
was introduced by commit 61ef18655704 ("mm: factor find_get_incore_page
out of mincore_page") to be used by later commit f5df8635c5a3 ("mm: use
find_get_incore_page in memcontrol"), so memory cgroup charge move code
can be simplified.
But commit 6b611388b626 ("memcg-v1: remove charge move code") removed
that user completely, it's only used by mincore now.
So this commit basically reverts commit 61ef18655704 ("mm: factor
find_get_incore_page out of mincore_page"). Move it back to mincore side
to simplify the code.

From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>
Introduce a mincore_swap helper for checking swap entries. Move all
swap related logic and sanity debug check into it, and separate them
from page cache checking.
The performance is better after this commit. mincore_page is never
called on a swap cache space now, so the logic can be simpler.
The sanity check also covers more potential cases now, previously
the WARN_ON only catches potentially corrupted page table, now if
shmem contains a swap entry with !CONFIG_SWAP, a WARN will be triggered.
This changes the mincore value when the WARN is triggered, but this
shouldn't matter. The WARN_ON means the data is already corrupted
or something is very wrong, so it really should not happen.
Before this series:
mincore on a swaped out 16G anon mmap range:
Took 488220 us
mincore on 16G shmem mmap range:
Took 530272 us.
After this commit:
mincore on a swaped out 16G anon mmap range:
Took 446763 us
mincore on 16G shmem mmap range:
Took 460496 us.
About ~10% faster.
