``max_ptes_shared`` speicies how many pages can be shared across multiple
processes. Exeeding the number woul block the collapse::
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_shared
A higher value may increase memory footprint for some workloads.
By default, at least half of pages has to be not shared.
