Subject: [PATCH v6 4/4] mm: correct the docs for thp_fault_alloc and thp_fault_fallback

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com>

The documentation does not align with the code. In
__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), THP_FAULT_FALLBACK is incremented when
mem_cgroup_charge() fails, despite the allocation succeeding, whereas
THP_FAULT_ALLOC is only incremented after a successful charge.
