During testing my work on top this patch, I found a small bug here.

Namely, transhuge_vma_enabled() will check vma->vm_mm->flags (to see if
MMF_DISABLE_THP is set); however, for vDSO vmas, vma->vm_mm is NULL.

Previously, transparent_hugepage_active() in smaps path would check
transhuge_vma_suitable() before checking these flags, which would fail for vDSO
vma since we'd take the !vma_is_anonymous() branch and find the vma (most
likely) wasn't suitably aligned (by chance ?).

Anyways, I think we need to check vma->vm_mm.
