Well, this also works with hugepage_save_settings() and write the
khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs with the maximum integer.
I don't have a strong opinion but since it seems more hackish way to
change scan_sllep_millisecs, I use madvise() with MADV_NOHUGEPATE.
Would it be better to change using APIs in hugepage_setting,h?
