mm, shmem: add vmstat for hugepage fallback

The existing thp_fault_fallback indicates when thp attempts to allocate a
hugepage but fails, or if the hugepage cannot be charged to the mem cgroup
hierarchy.

Extend this to shmem as well.  Adds a new thp_file_fallback to complement
thp_file_alloc that gets incremented when a hugepage is attempted to be
allocated but fails, or if it cannot be charged to the mem cgroup
hierarchy.

Additionally, remove the check for CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE from
shmem_alloc_hugepage() since it is only called with this configuration
option.
