[RESEND RFC v4 2/3] mm: make optimistic check for swapin readahead

[Ebru Akagunduz]

This patch introduces new sysfs integer knob
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_swap
which makes optimistic check for swapin readahead to
increase thp collapse rate. Before getting swapped
out pages to memory, checks them and allows up to a
certain number. It also prints out using tracepoints
amount of unmapped ptes.

Signed-off-by: Ebru Akagunduz <ebru.akagunduz@xxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
 - Nothing changed

Changes in v3:
 - Define constant for exact tracepoint result (Vlastimil Babka)

Changes in v4:
 - Add sysfs knob request (Kirill A. Shutemov)
