collapse_file() requires FSes supporting large folio with at least
PMD_ORDER, so replace the READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS check with that. shmem with
huge option turned on also sets large folio order on mapping, so the check
also applies to shmem.

While at it, replace VM_BUG_ON with returning failure values.

Yep, for shmem inodes, if the mount has huge= enabled, inode creation
marks the mapping are large-folio capable:

if (sbinfo->huge)

LGTM!
