We have folio_test_hugetlb() to replace PageHuge().

I think this is the biggest question with this patch -- how (or whether)
to account folios in size between PMD and PTE size.  Since it's
_called_ THP, I've tended to make the statistics conditional on
folio_test_pmd_mappable() rather than simply being folio_test_large().
