807f0ccfe1 pagemap: document KPF_THP and make page-types aware of it
page-types, which is a common user of pagemap, gets aware of thp with this
patch.  This helps system admins and kernel hackers know about how thp
works.  Here is a sample output of page-types over a thp:

  $ page-types -p <pid> --raw --list

  voffset offset  len     flags
