[PATCH 1/3] mm/huge_memory: allow splitting mappingless swapcache folios

A shmem folio is removed from its page cache when it is written to swap.
While it remains in the swap cache, it has no address_space mapping, so
folio_check_splittable() mistakes it for a truncated folio and rejects the
split with -EBUSY.

Allow a mappingless folio when it is in the swap cache. Initialize the
XArray state without an address-space mapping, then assign the XArray only
for mapped file folios. The split path already replaces each split folio
in the swap cache while holding the swap-cluster lock.
