To detect whether khugepaged swapin worthwhile, this patch checks
the amount of young pages. There should be at least half of
HPAGE_PMD_NR to swapin.

Changes in v2:
- Don't change thp design, only notice amount of young
pages, if khugepaged needs to swapin (Minchan Kim).
- Print out count of referenced pages in
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() (Ebru Akagunduz)
Changes in v3:
- After khugepaged extracted from huge_memory.c,
changes moved to khugepaged.c
