Changelog: *v1 -> v2: also update the stale comments about default transparent hugepage support pointed by Wanpeng Li. Since commit 13ece886d9(thp: transparent hugepage config choice), transparent hugepage support is disabled by default, and TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS is configured when TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y. And since commit d39d33c332(thp: enable direct defrag), defrag is enable for all transparent hugepage page faults by default, not only in MADV_HUGEPAGE regions.
