Currenly we have some vm event counters for page migration, but all
migration events are counted in a single value regardless of page size.
That is not good for end users who are interested in knowing whether
hugepage migration works. So this patch is suggesting to add separate
counters for thp migration.
Note that when thp migration fails due to ENOMEM or the lack of thp
migration support, the event is not counted in thp_migrate_fail and we
transparently retry the subpages' migrations.
Another note is that the return value of migrate_pages(), which is
claimed as "the number of pages that were not migrated (positive) or an
error code (negative)," doesn't consider the page size now. We could do
this for example by counting a single failure of thp migration event as
512, but this patch doesn't do it for simplicity. It seems to me that
there is no migrate_pages()'s caller which cares about the number itself
of the positive return value, so this should not be critical for now.
