generalize the order of the __collapse_huge_page_* and collapse_max_*
functions to support future mTHP collapse.

The current mechanism for determining collapse with the
khugepaged_max_ptes_none value is not designed with mTHP in mind. This
raises a key design issue: if we support user defined max_pte_none values
(even those scaled by order), a collapse of a lower order can introduces
an feedback loop, or "creep", when max_ptes_none is set to a value greater
than HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2. [1]

With this configuration, a successful collapse to order N will populate
enough pages to satisfy the collapse condition on order N+1 on the next
scan. This leads to unnecessary work and memory churn.

To fix this issue introduce a helper function that will limit mTHP
collapse support to two max_ptes_none values, 0 and HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1.
This effectively supports two modes: [2]

- max_ptes_none=0: never collapses if it encounters an empty PTE or a PTE
  that maps the shared zeropage. Consequently, no memory bloat.
- max_ptes_none=511 (on 4k pagesz): Always collapse to the highest
  available mTHP order.

This removes the possiblilty of "creep", while not modifying any uAPI
expectations. A warning will be emitted if any non-supported
max_ptes_none value is configured with mTHP enabled.

mTHP collapse will not honor the khugepaged_max_ptes_shared or
khugepaged_max_ptes_swap parameters, and will fail if it encounters a
shared or swapped entry.

No functional changes in this patch; however it defines future behavior
for mTHP collapse.
