Subject: mm/khugepaged: rework max_ptes_* handling with helper functions
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 12:57:40 -0600

The following cleanup reworks all the max_ptes_* handling into helper
functions.  This increases the code readability and will later be used to
implement the mTHP handling of these variables.

With these changes we abstract all the madvise_collapse() special casing
(dont respect the sysctls) away from the functions that utilize them.  And
will later in this series to cleanly restrict mTHP collapses behaviors.
