mm: swap: skip slot cache on freeing for mTHP
Currently when we are freeing mTHP folios from swap cache, we free then one by one and put each entry into swap slot cache. Slot cache is designed to reduce the overhead by batching the freeing, but mTHP swap entries are already continuous so they can be batch freed without it already, it saves litle overhead, or even increase overhead for larger mTHP. What's more, mTHP entries could stay in swap cache for a while. Contiguous swap entry is an rather rare resource so releasing them directly can help improve mTHP allocation success rate when under pressure.
