Subject: [PATCH] mm/huge_memory: merge uniform_split_supported() and
 non_uniform_split_supported()

uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() share
significantly similar logic.

The only functional difference is that uniform_split_supported() includes
an additional check on the requested @new_order.

The reason for this check comes from the following two aspects:

  * some file system or swap cache just supports order-0 folio
  * the behavioral difference between uniform/non-uniform split

The behavioral difference between uniform split and non-uniform:

  * uniform split splits folio directly to @new_order
  * non-uniform split creates after-split folios with orders from
    folio_order(folio) - 1 to new_order.

This means for non-uniform split or !new_order split we should check the
file system and swap cache respectively.

This commit unifies the logic and merge the two functions into a single
combined helper, removing redundant code and simplifying the split
support checking mechanism.
