[PATCH 7.2 v3 04/12] mm/khugepaged: remove READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS check in hugepage_pmd_enabled()

Remove READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS and khugepaged for file-backed pmd-sized
hugepages are enabled by the global transparent hugepage control.
khugepaged can still be enabled by per-size control for anon and shmem when
the global control is off.

Add shmem_hpage_pmd_enabled() stub for !CONFIG_SHMEM to remove
IS_ENABLED(SHMEM) in hugepage_pmd_enabled().
