Make khugepaged_collapse_control as it is not exported.
Fixes the following sparse warning:

mm/khugepaged.c:829:25: warning: symbol 'khugepaged_collapse_control' was not declared. Should it be static?

Thanks for the patch, but sorry to say that this has already been addressed in

Fixes: 34d6b470ab9cf ("mm/khugepaged: add struct collapse_control")

(Small note: for something like this that isn't fixing an actual bug we don't
use a fixes like this).

Is this a subsystem preference because I was told I needed it for other
patches.
