Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm: khugepaged: check MMF_DISABLE_THP ahead of iterating over vmas

From: Yanfei Xu <yanfei.xu@...driver.com>

We could check MMF_DISABLE_THP ahead of iterating over all of vma.
Otherwise if some mm_struct contain a large number of vma, there will
be amounts meaningless cpu cycles cost.
