mm/swap.c and mm/mlock.c agree to drain any per-CPU batch as soon as a
large folio is added: so collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() just wastes
effort when calling lru_add_drain[_all]() on a large folio.

But although there is good reason not to batch up PMD-sized folios, we
might well benefit from batching a small number of low-order mTHPs (though
unclear how that "small number" limitation will be implemented).

So ask if folio_may_be_lru_cached() rather than !folio_test_large(), to
insulate those particular checks from future change.  Name preferred to
"folio_is_batchable" because large folios can well be put on a batch: it's
just the per-CPU LRU caches, drained much later, which need care.

Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from
"mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration".
