Setting thp defrag mode of "defer+madvise" actually sets "defer" in the kernel due to the name similarity and the out-of-order way the string is checked in defrag_store(). Check the string in the correct order so that TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_DEFRAG_KSWAPD_OR_MADV_FLAG is set appropriately for "defer+madvise".
