By making release_pages() call folios_put(), we can get rid of the calls
to compound_head() for the callers that already know they have folios.
We can also get rid of the lock_batch tracking as we know the size
of the batch is limited by folio_batch.  This does reduce the maximum
number of pages for which the lruvec lock is held, from SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
(32) to PAGEVEC_SIZE (15).  I do not expect this to make a significant
difference, but if it does, we can increase PAGEVEC_SIZE to 31.
