Qi Zheng 18f3962953 mm: hugetlb: kill set_huge_swap_pte_at() 
Commit e5251fd430 ("mm/hugetlb: introduce set_huge_swap_pte_at()
helper") add set_huge_swap_pte_at() to handle swap entries on
architectures that support hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes.  And
currently the set_huge_swap_pte_at() is only overridden by arm64.

set_huge_swap_pte_at() provide a sz parameter to help determine the number
of entries to be updated.  But in fact, all hugetlb swap entries contain
pfn information, so we can find the corresponding folio through the pfn
recorded in the swap entry, then the folio_size() is the number of entries
that need to be updated.

And considering that users will easily cause bugs by ignoring the
difference between set_huge_swap_pte_at() and set_huge_pte_at().  Let's
handle swap entries in set_huge_pte_at() and remove the
set_huge_swap_pte_at(), then we can call set_huge_pte_at() anywhere, which
simplifies our coding.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
