mm: consolidate anonymous folio PTE mapping into helpers

Patch series "mm: khugepaged cleanups and mTHP prerequisites", v4.

The following series contains cleanups and prerequisites for my work on
khugepaged mTHP support [1].  These have been separated out to ease
review.

The first patch in the series refactors the page fault folio to pte
mapping and follows a similar convention as defined by
map_anon_folio_pmd_(no)pf().  This not only cleans up the current
implementation of do_anonymous_page(), but will allow for reuse later in
the khugepaged mTHP implementation.

The second patch adds a small is_pmd_order() helper to check if an order
is the PMD order.  This check is open-coded in a number of places.  This
patch aims to clean this up and will be used more in the khugepaged mTHP
work.  The third patch also adds a small DEFINE for (HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1)
which is used often across the khugepaged code.

The fourth and fifth patch come from the khugepaged mTHP patchset [1].
These two patches include the rename of function prefixes, and the
unification of khugepaged and madvise_collapse via a new
collapse_single_pmd function.

Patch 1:     refactor do_anonymous_page into map_anon_folio_pte_(no)pf
Patch 2:     add is_pmd_order helper
Patch 3:     Add define for (HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1)
Patch 4:     Refactor/rename hpage_collapse
Patch 5:     Refactoring to combine madvise_collapse and khugepaged

A big thanks to everyone that has reviewed, tested, and participated in
the development process.

This patch (of 5):

The anonymous page fault handler in do_anonymous_page() open-codes the
sequence to map a newly allocated anonymous folio at the PTE level:

- construct the PTE entry
- add rmap
- add to LRU
- set the PTEs
- update the MMU cache.

Introduce two helpers to consolidate this duplicated logic, mirroring the
existing map_anon_folio_pmd_nopf() pattern for PMD-level mappings:

map_anon_folio_pte_nopf(): constructs the PTE entry, takes folio
references, adds anon rmap and LRU.  This function also handles the
uffd_wp that can occur in the pf variant.  The future khugepaged mTHP code
calls this to handle mapping the new collapsed mTHP to its folio.

map_anon_folio_pte_pf(): extends the nopf variant to handle MM_ANONPAGES
counter updates, and mTHP fault allocation statistics for the page fault
path.

The zero-page read path in do_anonymous_page() is also untangled from the
shared setpte label, since it does not allocate a folio and should not
share the same mapping sequence as the write path.  We can now leave
nr_pages undeclared at the function intialization, and use the single page
update_mmu_cache function to handle the zero page update.

This refactoring will also help reduce code duplication between
mm/memory.c and mm/khugepaged.c, and provides a clean API for PTE-level
anonymous folio mapping that can be reused by future callers (like
khugpeaged mTHP support)
