mm, THP, swap: enable THP swap optimization only if has compound map
If there is no compound map for a THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is possible that the map count of some sub-pages of the THP is 0. So it is better to split the THP before swapping out. In this way, the sub-pages not mapped will be freed, and we can avoid the unnecessary swap out operations for these sub-pages.
