[RFC PATCH v5 4/4] mm/shmem: split large folios only on -E2BIG

shmem_writeout() currently splits a large folio on every
folio_alloc_swap() failure. With the refined return-value contract, only
-E2BIG indicates that splitting might allow smaller folios to be swapped
out.

Enter the split fallback only for -E2BIG. For -ENOSPC and -ENOMEM,
redirty and reactivate the folio as before.
