here's the fix (luckily I didn't need to touch a bit of
hugetlbfs). I think initially the only thing I was reusing sometime
was pmd_huge that made me want HUGETLBFS_PAGE (these days there's
pmd_trans_huge and pmd_huge must only be used in hugetlbfs paths, 99%
of the time they're separated). At the time it happened to build with
HUGETLBFS_PAGE=y and HUGETLBFS=n, now it's a total mixture and letting
HUGETLBFS_PAGE live seems bad idea.

Subject: thp: remove dependency on HUGETLB_PAGE

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

THP code is already 100% standalone and not depending on a bit of hugetlbfs.

HUGETLBFS_PAGE would be better removed and unified with HUGETLBFS considering
the kernel won't build if they're not equal.
