The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback' are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with the old swap counter

Am I daydreaming or did we add the anon_ for a reason and discussed the interaction with shmem? At least I remember some discussion around that.

Do you mean the shmem mTHP allocation counters in previous discussion[1]? But for 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback', I can not find previous discussions that provided a reason for adding the ‘anon_’ prefix. Barry, any comments? Thanks.
