[PATCH] erofs: enable large folio in device-based mode

[PATCH] erofs: enable large folio in device-based mode

[Jingbo Xu]

Enable large folio in device-based mode. Then the radahead routine will
pass down large folio containing multiple pages.

Enable this feature for non-compressed format for now, until the
compression part supports large folio later.

I have tested it under workload of Linux compiling. I know it's not a
perfect workload testing this feature, because large folio is less
likely hit in this case since source files are generally small. But I
indeed observed large folios (e.g. 16 pages) by peeking
readahead_count(rac) in erofs_readahead().

Sorry, readahead_count(rac) returns the whole number of pages inside the
rac, which can not prove large folio passed in.

I retired later and observed large folio (e.g. with order 2) by peeking
folio_order(ctx->cur_folio) inside iomap_readahead_iter()

I will test it as well after I send out all bug fixes for this cycle.
