[PATCH v3 4/6] mm: shmem: add mTHP support for anonymous shmem

Commit 19eaf44954df adds multi-size THP (mTHP) for anonymous pages, that
can allow THP to be configured through the sysfs interface located at
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/enabled'.

However, the anonymous share pages will ignore the anonymous mTHP rule
configured through the sysfs interface, and can only use the PMD-mapped
THP, that is not reasonable. Users expect to apply the mTHP rule for
all anonymous pages, including the anonymous share pages, in order to
enjoy the benefits of mTHP. For example, lower latency than PMD-mapped THP,
smaller memory bloat than PMD-mapped THP, contiguous PTEs on ARM architecture
to reduce TLB miss etc.

The primary strategy is similar to supporting anonymous mTHP. Introduce
a new interface '/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepage-XXkb/shmem_enabled',
which can have all the same values as the top-level
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', with adding a new
additional "inherit" option. By default all sizes will be set to "never"
except PMD size, which is set to "inherit". This ensures backward compatibility
with the anonymous shmem enabled of the top level, meanwhile also allows
independent control of anonymous shmem enabled for each mTHP.
