Currently the THP flag check in hugepage_vma_check() will fallthrough if the flag is NEVER and VM_HUGEPAGE is set. This is not a problem for now since all the callers have the flag checked before or can't be invoked if the flag is NEVER. However, the following patch will call hugepage_vma_check() in more places, for example, page fault, so this flag must be checked in hugepge_vma_check().
