When transparent_hugepage is set to never by cmdline or echo, defrag still show what it used to be and can be modified which makes user confusing whether defrag would take effect. Actually if transparent_hugepage is set to never, defrag will not take effect. Just Display never and remain unchangeable to for defrag when transparent_hugepage is set to never.
