Shmem has a separate interface (different from anonymous pages) to control huge page allocation, that means shmem THP can be enabled while anonymous THP is disabled. However, in this case, khugepaged will not start to collapse shmem THP, which is unreasonable. To fix this issue, we should call start_stop_khugepaged() to activate or deactivate the khugepaged thread when setting shmem mTHP interfaces. Moreover, add a new helper shmem_hpage_pmd_enabled() to help to check whether shmem THP is enabled, which will determine if khugepaged should be activated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
