I guess these new counters are _consistent_ with all the others.  But,
why do we need a separate "_failed" for each one of these?  While I'm
nitpicking, does "thp_write_alloc" mean allocs or _successful_ allocs?
I had to look at the code to tell.

I thihk it's probably safe to combine this patch with the next one.
Breaking them apart just makes it harder to review.  If _anything_,
this, plus the use of the counters should go in to a different patch
from the true code changes in "mm: allocate huge pages in
grab_cache_page_write_begin()".
