Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmstat: Add events for PMD based THP migration without split

This adds the following two new VM events which will help in validating PMD
based THP migration without split. Statistics reported through these events
will help in performance debugging.

1. THP_PMD_MIGRATION_SUCCESS
2. THP_PMD_MIGRATION_FAILURE

Changes in RFC V2: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11554861/)

- Decopupled and renamed VM events from their implementation per Zi and John
- Added THP_PMD_MIGRATION_FAILURE VM event upon allocation failure and split
