[RFC] mm/vmstat: Add events for THP migration without split

[Anshuman Khandual]

Add the following new trace events which will help in validating migration
events involving PMD based THP pages.

1. THP_PMD_MIGRATION_ENTRY_SET
2. THP_PMD_MIGRATION_ENTRY_REMOVE

There are no clear method to confirm whether a THP migration happened with
out involving it's split. These trace events along with PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS
and PGMIGRATE_FAILURE will provide additional insights. After this change,

A single 2M THP (2K base page) when migrated

1. Without split

................
pgmigrate_success 1
pgmigrate_fail 0
................
thp_pmd_migration_entry_set 1
thp_pmd_migration_entry_remove 1
................

2. With split

................
pgmigrate_success 512
pgmigrate_fail 0
................
thp_pmd_migration_entry_set 0
thp_pmd_migration_entry_remove 0
................

pgmigrate_success as 1 instead of 512, provides a hint for possible THP
migration event. But then it gets mixed with normal page migrations over
time. These additional trace events provide required co-relation.

This is an indirect way for counting PMD migrations without split. Is there
a better method possible ? Just request for comments at the moment.
