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.
