Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmstat: add events for THP max_ptes_* exceeds

From: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@....com.cn>

There are interfaces to adjust max_ptes_none, max_ptes_swap,
max_ptes_shared values, see
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/.

But system administrator maynot know which value is the best. So
Add those events to support adjusting max_ptes_* to suitable values.

For example, if default max_ptes_swap value causes too much failures,
and system uses zram whose IO is fast, administrator could increase
max_ptes_swap until THP_SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE not increase anymore.
