Subject: [PATCH 3/4] mm, thp: Add VM_INIT_DEF_MASK and PRCTL_THP_DISABLE
This patch adds a VM_INIT_DEF_MASK, to allow us to set the default flags
for VMs. It also adds a prctl control which alllows us to set the THP
disable bit in mm->def_flags so that VMs will pick up the setting as
they are created.
