I have no user-visible problem.
This is a kind of precaution to confirm that transparent hugepage code
should not be called for hugetlbfs workload.
.. but I think that this patch doesn't work as I intended because
transparent_hugepage_enabled() can return true for vma(VM_HUGETLB).
So I separate out this patch from this series for now.
