functions in khugepaged.c use a mix of hpage_collapse and khugepaged
as the function prefix.

rename all of them to khugepaged to keep things consistent and slightly
shorten the function names.

You are essentially reverting commit 7d8faaf15545 which adds the
hpage_collapse_ prefix. Since in the next patch you also unify
madvise and khugepaged, removing hpage_collapse prefix would
make sense, but then I tend to agree with Liam that dropping
the prefix altogether is better. Having all the functions in
khugepaged.c prefixed with khugepaged_ seems unnecessary work.

@David, I forgot where you replied but I remember you saying
that we should not introduce MADV_COLLAPSE mTHP support for
now?
