Good point. Thanks for the suggestion. Actually
transhuge_vma_size_ok() is just called by hugepage_vma_check(). And
hugepage_vma_check() does check the alignment for file vma too, so I
think they could be consolidated into one function as you suggested.
And this should help keep the THPeligible bit the same throughout the
series.
