mm/swap: stop using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP

Patch series "mm/swap: stop using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP
+ cleanups".

This series stops using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP, replaces
folio->private by folio->swap for swapcache folios, and starts using
"new_folio" for tail pages that we are splitting to remove the usage of
page->private for swapcache handling completely.


This patch (of 4):

Let's stop using page->private on tail pages, making it possible to just
unconditionally reuse that field in the tail pages of large folios.

The remaining usage of the private field for THP_SWAP is in the THP
splitting code (mm/huge_memory.c), that we'll handle separately later.

Update the THP_SWAP documentation and sanity checks in mm_types.h and
__split_huge_page_tail().
