Patch series "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups", v4. The following changes stem from a number of reviews during my khugepaged mTHP support series [1]. Some of these are minor code cleanups, issues or reviews that we decided to deferred to a followup series, or in the case of the more major patch of the series, changes [2] Lance Yang attempted while my series was in-flight and we decided to wait till later to try. The first 3 patches introduce helper functions to increase code reuse and readability. This includes a per-scan state clearing function, extracting the young page check into a helper, and a count_collapse_event() function to reduce a repetative pattern used across mTHP collapse. The 4th patch was the byproduct of me throwing Claude at all the comments in khugepaged verifying and looking for any outdated info. The 5th patch is based on Lance Yang's commit series [2] trying to extract the PTE state checking into a helper function. This required a bit of rewriting due to differences after mTHP collapse was introduced. I also took into account the changes requested during his patches review cycle. The remaining 2 patches were review points during my mTHP series that we agreed can be deferred to a later series. Thank you to those whos reviews and work I leveraged to achieve these cleanups. This patch (of 6): Extract the repeated clearing of node_load, alloc_nmask, and mthp_present_ptes into a helper to reduce duplication in collapse_scan_pmd() and collapse_scan_file(). Althought file scans do not current use the bitmap, they will in the future, and clearing it now is harmless.
