mm, swap: use unified helper for swap cache look up

The swap cache lookup helper swap_cache_get_folio currently does readahead
updates as well, so callers that are not doing swapin from any VMA or
mapping are forced to reuse filemap helpers instead, and have to access
the swap cache space directly.

So decouple readahead update with swap cache lookup.  Move the readahead
update part into a standalone helper.  Let the caller call the readahead
update helper if they do readahead.  And convert all swap cache lookups to
use swap_cache_get_folio.

After this commit, there are only three special cases for accessing swap
cache space now: huge memory splitting, migration, and shmem replacing,
because they need to lock the XArray.  The following commits will wrap
their accesses to the swap cache too, with special helpers.

And worth noting, currently dropbehind is not supported for anon folio,
and we will never see a dropbehind folio in swap cache.  The unified
helper can be updated later to handle that.

While at it, add proper kernedoc for touched helpers.

No functional change.
