Subject: [v2 PATCH 2/8] mm: khugepaged: remove redundant check for VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED

The hugepage_vma_check() called by khugepaged_enter_vma_merge() does
check VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED. Remove the check from caller and move the check
in hugepage_vma_check() up.

More checks may be run for VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED vmas, but MADV_HUGEPAGE is
definitely not a hot path, so cleaner code does outweigh.
