From: Ignacio Moreno Gonzalez <Ignacio.MorenoGonzalez@kuka.com>

VM_NOHUGEPAGE is a no-op if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled. So
it makes no sense to return an error when calling madvise() with
MADV_NOHUGEPAGE in that case.

Here it is presented as a separate thread to avoid mixing stable and
non-stable patches.

This change makes calling madvise(addr, size, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) on !THP
kernels to return 0 instead of -EINVAL.
