Subject: [v4 PATCH 1/2] mm: thp: make transhuge_vma_suitable available for anonymous THP

The transhuge_vma_suitable() was only available for shmem THP, but
anonymous THP has the same check except pgoff check. And, it will be
used for THP eligible check in the later patch, so make it available for
all kind of THPs. This also helps reduce code duplication slightly.

Since anonymous THP doesn't have to check pgoff, so make pgoff check
shmem vma only.

And regroup some functions in include/linux/mm.h to solve compile issue since
transhuge_vma_suitable() needs call vma_is_anonymous() which was defined
after huge_mm.h is included.

Subject: [v4 PATCH 2/2] mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility

The commit 7635d9cbe832 ("mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each
vma") introduced THPeligible bit for processes' smaps. But, when checking
the eligibility for shmem vma, __transparent_hugepage_enabled() is
called to override the result from shmem_huge_enabled(). It may result
in the anonymous vma's THP flag override shmem's. For example, running a
simple test which create THP for shmem, but with anonymous THP disabled,
when reading the process's smaps, it may show:

7fc92ec00000-7fc92f000000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 27764 /dev/shm/test
Size: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
THPeligible: 0

And, /proc/meminfo does show THP allocated and PMD mapped too:

ShmemHugePages: 4096 kB
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB

This doesn't make too much sense. The shmem objects should be treated
separately from anonymous THP. Calling shmem_huge_enabled() with checking
MMF_DISABLE_THP sounds good enough. And, we could skip stack and
dax vma check since we already checked if the vma is shmem already.

Also check if vma is suitable for THP by calling
transhuge_vma_suitable().

And minor fix to smaps output format and documentation.
