Lets take a look at this in more detail. This effectively
adds the following conditions to khugepaged_enter_vma_merge:
- fail if MMF_DISABLE_THP bit is set in mm->flags (good)
- allow if merging a tmpfs file and THP tmpfs is enabled (good)
- disallow if is_vma_temporary_stack (good)
- otherwise, allow if !VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED flag (good)

Looks like this covers all the conditions I can think
of, and if I missed any, chances are that condition
should be added to hugepage_vma_check()...
