Subject: [PATCH -mm -v3 12/12] mm, THP, swap: Add THP swapping out fallback counting

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

When swapping out THP (Transparent Huge Page), instead of swapping out
the THP as a whole, sometimes we have to fallback to split the THP
into normal pages before swapping, because no free swap clusters are
available, or cgroup limit is exceeded, etc.  To count the number of
the fallback, a new VM event THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK is added, and counted
when we fallback to split the THP.
