mm: add per-order mTHP anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback counters

Patch series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout counters", v6.

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_fault_alloc
anon_fault_fallback
anon_fault_fallback_charge
anon_swpout
anon_swpout_fallback

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

This patch (of 4):

Profiling a system blindly with mTHP has become challenging due to the
lack of visibility into its operations.  Presenting the success rate of
mTHP allocations appears to be pressing need.

Recently, I've been experiencing significant difficulty debugging
performance improvements and regressions without these figures.  It's
crucial for us to understand the true effectiveness of mTHP in real-world
scenarios, especially in systems with fragmented memory.

This patch establishes the framework for per-order mTHP counters.  It
begins by introducing the anon_fault_alloc and anon_fault_fallback
counters.  Additionally, to maintain consistency with
thp_fault_fallback_charge in /proc/vmstat, this patch also tracks
anon_fault_fallback_charge when mem_cgroup_charge fails for mTHP.
Incorporating additional counters should now be straightforward as well.
