Re: [PATCH mm-unstable v1 1/4] mm/swap: stop using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP

Let's stop using page->private on tail pages, making it possible to
just unconditionally reuse that field in the tail pages of large folios.

The remaining usage of the private field for THP_SWAP is in the THP
splitting code (mm/huge_memory.c), that we'll handle separately later.

Update the THP_SWAP documentation and sanity checks in mm_types.h and
__split_huge_page_tail().
