Now multi-page bvec can cover CONFIG_THP_SWAP, so we don't need to
increase BIO_MAX_PAGES for it.

You mentioned to it in the cover letter, but this needs more explanation
in the commit message. Why did CONFIG_THP_SWAP require > 256? Why does
multipage bvecs remove that requirement?

Looks good.  This mess should have never gone in.

CONFIG_THP_SWAP needs to split one TH page into normal pages and adds
them all to one bio. With multipage-bvec, it just takes one bvec to
hold them all.

Yes.  CONFIG_THP_SWAP needs to put 512 normal sub-pages into one bio to
write the 512 sub-pages together.  With the help of multipage-bvec, it
needs just bvect to hold 512 normal sub-pages.
