mm, THP, swap: enable THP swap optimization only if has compound map

If there is no compound map for a THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that the map count of some sub-pages of the THP is 0.  So it is
better to split the THP before swapping out.  In this way, the sub-pages
not mapped will be freed, and we can avoid the unnecessary swap out
operations for these sub-pages.
