A quick grep shows x86_64, PowerPC (book3s), ARM64 and S390 support both
NUMA balancing and THP. But S390 doesn't support THP migration so NUMA
balancing actually can't migrate any misplaced pages.
Skip make PMD PROT_NONE for such case otherwise CPU cycles may be wasted
by pointless NUMA hinting faults on S390.
