mm: shmem: improve the tmpfs large folio read performance

tmpfs already supports PMD-sized large folios, but the tmpfs read
operation still performs copying at PAGE_SIZE granularity, which is
unreasonable.  This patch changes tmpfs to copy data at folio granularity,
which can improve the read performance, as well as changing to use folio
related functions.

Moreover, if a large folio has a subpage that is hwpoisoned, it will
still fall back to page granularity copying.

Use 'fio bs=64k' to read a 1G tmpfs file populated with 2M THPs, and I can
see about 20% performance improvement, and no regression with bs=4k.
Before the patch:
READ: bw=10.0GiB/s

After the patch:
READ: bw=12.0GiB/s
