The patchset introduces a framework to facilitate mTHP counters, starting
with the allocation and swap-out counters. Currently, only four new nodes
are appended to the stats directory for each mTHP size.

/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats
	anon_fault_alloc
	anon_fault_fallback
	anon_fault_fallback_charge
	anon_swpout
	anon_swpout_fallback

These nodes are crucial for us to monitor the fragmentation levels of
both the buddy system and the swap partitions. In the future, we may
consider adding additional nodes for further insights.

-v5:
  * rename anon_alloc to anon_fault_alloc, Barry/Ryan;
  * add anon_fault_fallback_charge, Ryan;
  * move to dynamic alloc_percpu as powerpc's PMD_ORDER is not const,
    kernel test robot;
  * make anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback more consistent
    with thp_fault_alloc and thp_fault_fallback, Ryan;
  * handle cpu hotplug properly, Ryan;
  * add docs for new sysfs nodes and ABI, Andrew.

-v4:
  * Many thanks to David and Ryan for your patience and valuable insights
    throughout the numerous renaming efforts!
  * Guard the case order > PMD_ORDER in count func rather than in callers,
    Ryan;
  * Add swpout counters;
  * Add a helper DEFINE_MTHP_STAT_ATTR to avoid code duplication for various
    counters;
