filemap: batch PTE mappings

Call set_pte_range() once per contiguous range of the folio instead of
once per page.  This batches the updates to mm counters and the rmap.

With a will-it-scale.page_fault3 like app (change file write fault testing
to read fault testing.  Trying to upstream it to will-it-scale at [1]) got
15% performance gain on a 48C/96T Cascade Lake test box with 96 processes
running against xfs.

Perf data collected before/after the change:
  18.73%--page_add_file_rmap
          |
           --11.60%--__mod_lruvec_page_state
                     |
                     |--7.40%--__mod_memcg_lruvec_state
                     |          |
                     |           --5.58%--cgroup_rstat_updated
                     |
                      --2.53%--__mod_lruvec_state
                                |
                                 --1.48%--__mod_node_page_state

  9.93%--page_add_file_rmap_range
         |
          --2.67%--__mod_lruvec_page_state
                    |
                    |--1.95%--__mod_memcg_lruvec_state
                    |          |
                    |           --1.57%--cgroup_rstat_updated
                    |
                     --0.61%--__mod_lruvec_state
                               |
                                --0.54%--__mod_node_page_state

The running time of __mode_lruvec_page_state() is reduced about 9%.
