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

Testing:
- Built for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x
- ran all arches on test suites provided by the kernel-tests project
- selftests mm

V2 Changes:
- patch1: add missing pte_sw_mkyoung [2]
- patch1: the switch to maybe_mkwrite introduced a functional change
  causing pte_mkdirty to no longer run conditionally. switch back to the
  original call format [2]
- patch1: fix minor formatting issues [3]
- patch2: found/added more open-coded is_pmd_order() checks
- patch3: only use the define for cases referring to the khugepaged
  limits. [4]
- patch5: Move the last bits of the new writeback retry logic into
  collapse_single_pmd. My previous version had this logic split across
  madvise_collapse and collapse_single_pmd. [5](Thanks David!)
- did not add review/ack's on patch 1 or 5 due to the above changes.

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