Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout counters

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@...o.com>

The patchset introduces a framework to facilitate mTHP counters, starting
with the allocation and swap-out counters. Currently, only four new nodes
are appended to the stats directory for each mTHP size.

/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats
	anon_alloc
	anon_alloc_fallback
	anon_swpout
	anon_swpout_fallback

These four nodes are crucial for us to monitor the fragmentation levels of
both the buddy system and the swapfile. In the future, we may consider
adding additional nodes for further insights.

-v4:
  * Many thanks to David and Ryan for your patience and valuable insights
    throughout the numerous renaming efforts!
  * Guard the case order > PMD_ORDER in count func rather than in callers,
    Ryan;
  * Add swpout counters;
  * Add a helper DEFINE_MTHP_STAT_ATTR to avoid code duplication for various
    counters;
