So this would be it. (incremental with previous patch I sent that
adjusts the location of THP_SPLIT)

Subject: thp: make vmstat more accurate

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@...hat.com>

s/direct/fault/g s/daemon/collapse/g

It's better to account even if memcg fails if the allocation succeeded so
it gives a bit more accurate ratios on the effectiveness of the VM in
creating hugepages. This adds coverage to the not NUMA case and it actually
uses THP_COLLAPSE_ALLOC. The thp_collapse_alloc is closely related to the
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed but just like
for memcg this also accounts when the strict _allocation_ succeed but the
collapse can't go through after releasing the mmap_sem for a little
(pages_collapsed only accounts when the collapse really went through in
addition to the strict THP allocation).

Output under heavy swap load with khugepaged scan_sleep_millisecs=0
(and new kswapd compaction logic) follows.
