This patch does improve the readability. But I have a question.
It seems VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED is not checked in the below if-condition:

	/* Only regular file is valid */
	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS) && vma->vm_file &&
	    (vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) {
		struct inode *inode = vma->vm_file->f_inode;

		return !inode_is_open_for_write(inode) &&
			S_ISREG(inode->i_mode);
	}

If we return false due to VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED here, it seems it will affect the
return value of this CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS condition check.
Or am I miss something?

Thanks.
