Subject: filemap: batch PTE mappings
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 16:14:05 +0100

Call set_pte_range() once per contiguous range of the folio instead of
once per page.  This batches the updates to mm counters and the rmap.

With a will-it-scale.page_fault3 like app (change file write fault testing
to read fault testing.  Trying to upstream it to will-it-scale at [1]) got
15% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes
running against xfs.

Perf data collected before/after the change:

                                --0.54%--__mod_node_page_state

The running time of __mode_lruvec_page_state() is reduced about 9%.
