Knowing the number of transparent anon THPs in the system is crucial
for performance analysis. It helps in understanding the ratio and
distribution of THPs versus small folios throughout the system.

Additionally, partial unmapping by userspace can lead to significant waste
of THPs over time and increase memory reclamation pressure. We need this
information for comprehensive system tuning.

 * collect David's acked-by, thanks!
 * refine subjects, changelogs and docs according to David's comment,
   thanks very much!

 * collect David's acked-by, thanks!
 * rename nr_split_deferred to meaningful name - nr_anon_partially_mapped,
   per David. Ryan, I assume you will like it after you come back :-)

 * don't rely on rmap to implement - 1, uses folio_free, split etc.
   Thanks for David's comment;
 * rename sys counters and refine doc. Thanks for Ryan's comment;
