mm: drop the 'anon_' prefix for swap-out mTHP counters
The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback'
are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out
non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with
the old swap counter names.
This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the
field.

Fixes: d0f048ac39f6 ("mm: add per-order mTHP anon_swpout and anon_swpout_fallback counters")
Fixes: 42248b9d34ea ("mm: add docs for per-order mTHP counters and transhuge_page ABI")
