The deferred THPs are split on memory pressure through shrinker
callback and splitting of THP during reclaim can fail for several
reasons like unable to lock the THP, under writeback or unexpected
number of pins on the THP. Such pages are put back on the deferred split
list for consideration later. However kernel does not update the
deferred queue size on putting back the pages whose split was failed.
This patch fixes that.
