Khugepaged already supports collapsing file large folios (including shmem mTHP)
by commit 7de856ffd007 ("mm: khugepaged: support shmem mTHP collapse"), and the
control parameters in khugepaged: 'khugepaged_max_ptes_swap' and 'khugepaged_max_ptes_none',
still compare based on PTE granularity to determine whether a file collapse is
needed. However, the statistics for 'present' and 'swap' in hpage_collapse_scan_file()
do not take into account the large folios, which may lead to incorrect judgments
regarding the khugepaged_max_ptes_swap/none parameters, resulting in unnecessary
file collapses.

To fix this issue, take into account the large folios' statistics for 'present'
and 'swap' variables in the hpage_collapse_scan_file().

Looks correct to me:
