mm: shmem: add large folio support for tmpfs

Add large folio support for tmpfs write and fallocate paths matching the
same high order preference mechanism used in the iomap buffered IO path as
used in __filemap_get_folio().

Add shmem_mapping_size_orders() to get a hint for the orders of the folio
based on the file size which takes care of the mapping requirements.

Traditionally, tmpfs only supported PMD-sized large folios.  However
nowadays with other file systems supporting any sized large folios, and
extending anonymous to support mTHP, we should not restrict tmpfs to
allocating only PMD-sized large folios, making it more special.  Instead,
we should allow tmpfs can allocate any sized large folios.

Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the
PMD-sized large folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to
allow any sized large folios.  The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option
are:

huge=never: no any sized large folios
huge=always: any sized large folios
huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size
huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with madvise()

Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still
allocate the PMD-sized huge folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is
set.

Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same
semantics.  The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while
the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs.
