Thanks, Steve. combining all comments from You and Ryan, I made a v2.
One tricky thing is that we are restoring one page rather than folio
in arch_restore_swap() as we are only swapping in one page at this
stage.

[RFC v2 PATCH] arm64: mm: swap: save and restore mte tags for large folios

This patch makes MTE tags saving and restoring support large folios,
then we don't need to split them into base pages for swapping on
ARM64 SoCs with MTE.

This patch moves arch_prepare_to_swap() to take folio rather than
page, as we support THP swap-out as a whole. And this patch also
drops arch_thp_swp_supported() as ARM64 MTE is the only one who
needs it.
