[RFC PATCH v4 31/34] filemap: support disable large folios on active inode

Since commit 730633f0b7f9 ("mm: Protect operations adding pages to page
cache with invalidate_lock"), mapping->invalidate_lock can protect us
from adding new folios into page cache. So it's possible to disable
active inodes' large folios support, even through it might be dangerous.
Filesystems can disable it under mapping->invalidate_lock and drop all
page cache before dropping AS_LARGE_FOLIO_SUPPORT.
