From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, THP, swap: add THP swapping out fallback counting
When swapping out THP (Transparent Huge Page), instead of swapping out the
THP as a whole, sometimes we have to fallback to split the THP into normal
pages before swapping, because no free swap clusters are available, or
cgroup limit is exceeded, etc. To count the number of the fallback, a new
VM event THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK is added, and counted when we fallback to
split the THP.
