[RFC v2 4/5] shmem: skip page split if we're not reclaiming

In theory when info->flags & VM_LOCKED we should not be getting
shem_writepage() called so we should be verifying this with a
WARN_ON_ONCE(). Since we should not be swapping then best to ensure
we also don't do the folio split earlier too. So just move the check
early to avoid folio splits in case its a dubious call.

We also have a similar early bail when !total_swap_pages so just move
that earlier to avoid the possible folio split in the same situation.
