i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping.
However we have  check for usage of writepages() to ensure
it used only for swap purposes later. Avoid the splits if
we're not being called for reclaim, even if they should in
theory not happen.

This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().

And drop the comment :) That's what WARN_ON_ONCE is all about.
