Instead of splitting the large folio uniformly during truncation, try to use buddy allocator like split at the start of truncation range to minimize the number of resulting folios if it is supported. try_folio_split() is introduced to use folio_split() if supported and fall back to uniform split otherwise.
For example, to truncate a order-4 folio [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 15] between [3, 10] (inclusive), folio_split() splits the folio to [0,1], [2], [3], [4..7], [8..15] and [3], [4..7] can be dropped and [8..15] is kept with zeros in [8..10], then another folio_split() is done at 10, so [8..10] can be dropped.
One possible optimization is to make folio_split() to split a folio based on a given range, like [3..10] above. But that complicates folio_split(), so it will be investigated when necessary.
