Subject: [patch v2] mm, thp: count thp_fault_fallback anytime thp fault
 fails

Currently, thp_fault_fallback in vmstat only gets incremented if a
hugepage allocation fails.  If current's memcg hits its limit or the page
fault handler returns an error, it is incorrectly accounted as a
successful thp_fault_alloc.

Count thp_fault_fallback anytime the page fault handler falls back to
using regular pages and only count thp_fault_alloc when a hugepage has
actually been faulted.
