mm: shmem: fallback to page size splice if large folio has poisoned pages

The tmpfs has already supported the PMD-sized large folios, and splice()
can not read any pages if the large folio has a poisoned page, which is
not good as Matthew pointed out in a previous email[1]:

"so if we have hwpoison set on one page in a folio, we now can't read
bytes from any page in the folio?  That seems like we've made a bad
situation worse."

Thus add a fallback to the PAGE_SIZE splice() still allows reading normal
pages if the large folio has hwpoisoned pages.
