FROMLIST: BACKPORT: mm: swap: mTHP allocate swap entries from nonfull list
Track the nonfull cluster as well as the empty cluster on lists. Each order has one nonfull cluster list. The cluster will remember which order it was used during new cluster allocation. When the cluster has free entry, add to the nonfull[order] list. When the free cluster list is empty, also allocate from the nonempty list of that order. This improves the mTHP swap allocation success rate. There are limitations if the distribution of numbers of different orders of mTHP changes a lot. e.g. there are a lot of nonfull cluster assign to order A while later time there are a lot of order B allocation while very little allocation in order A. Currently the cluster used by order A will not reused by order B unless the cluster is 100% empty.
