gup: optimize longterm pin_user_pages() for large folio

commit a03db236aebfaeadf79396dbd570896b870bda01 upstream.

In the current implementation of longterm pin_user_pages(), we invoke
collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios().  This function iterates through the
list to check whether each folio belongs to the "longterm_unpinnabled"
category.  The folios in this list essentially correspond to a contiguous
region of userspace addresses, with each folio representing a physical
address in increments of PAGESIZE.

If this userspace address range is mapped with large folio, we can
optimize the performance of function collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios()
by reducing the using of READ_ONCE() invoked in
pofs_get_folio()->page_folio()->_compound_head().

Also, we can simplify the logic of collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios().
Instead of comparing with prev_folio after calling pofs_get_folio(), we
can check whether the next page is within the same folio.

The performance test results, based on v6.15, obtained through the
gup_test tool from the kernel source tree are as follows.  We achieve an
improvement of over 66% for large folio with pagesize=2M.  For small
folio, we have only observed a very slight degradation in performance.
