If I am not wrong, thp_fault_alloc() and __thp_fault_success_stats()
will remain the same in case of mTHP? I chose to pass order so that these
functions can be used by others in the future. Therefore, these two functions
can be generically used in the future while map_pmd_thp() (as the name suggests)
maps only a PMD-mappable THP.

As I replied to Kirill, I do not think that is a good idea. If you do a git grep on
the tree for "foliop", you will find several places where that is being used, for
example, check out alloc_charge_folio() in mm/khugepaged.c. The author intends to
do the stat computation and setting *foliop in the function itself, so that the
caller is only concerned with the return value.
Also, if we return the folio instead of VM_FAULT_FALLBACK from thp_fault_alloc(),
then you will have two "if (unlikely(!folio))" branches, the first to do the stat
computation in the function, and the second branch in the caller to set ret = VM_FAULT_FALLBACK
and then goto out/release.
And, it is already inconsistent to break away the stat computation and the return value
setting, when the stat computation name is of the form "count_vm_event(THP_FAULT_FALLBACK)"
and friends, at which point it would just be better to open code the function.

If I am missing something and your suggestion can be implemented neatly, please guide.
