The commit 7635d9cbe832 ("mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each
vma") introduced THPeligible bit for processes' smaps. But, when checking
the eligibility for shmem vma, __transparent_hugepage_enabled() is
called to override the result from shmem_huge_enabled(). It may result
in the anonymous vma's THP flag override shmem's. For example, running a
simple test which create THP for shmem, but with anonymous THP disabled,
when reading the process's smaps, it may show:
7fc92ec00000-7fc92f000000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 27764 /dev/shm/test
Size: 4096 kB

ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
...

...
THPeligible: 0
And, /proc/meminfo does show THP allocated and PMD mapped too:
ShmemHugePages: 4096 kB
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
This doesn't make too much sense. The anonymous THP flag should not
intervene shmem THP. Calling shmem_huge_enabled() with checking
MMF_DISABLE_THP sounds good enough. And, we could skip stack and
dax vma check since we already checked if the vma is shmem already.
