Ohh, I am blind. I believe you have already mentioned that but I must
have overlooked it. I have only now noticed cc->is_khugepaged part of the
check. Supposedly, the primary idea here being that madvise calls should
de-facto create a brand new THP in that case. A creative way to call
collapsing but I can see some point in that.

See my other reply on how to deal with that in a more reasonable (IMHO)
way.
