From: Yang Shi <shy828301@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: khugepaged: skip DAX vma
The DAX vma may be seen by khugepaged when the mm has other khugepaged
suitable vmas. So khugepaged may try to collapse THP for DAX vma, but it
will fail due to page sanity check, for example, page is not on LRU.
So it is not harmful, but it is definitely pointless to run khugepaged
against DAX vma, so skip it in early check.
