Subject: [PATCH V2 1/3] mm/vma: Move VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED into generic header

Move VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED into generic header (include/linux/mm.h). This just
makes sure that no VMA flag is scattered in individual function files any
longer. While at this, fix an old comment which is no longer valid. This
should not cause any functional change.
