From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> We have now allowed mTHP collapse, but thp_vma_allowable_order() still only checks if the PMD-sized mTHP is allowed to collapse. This prevents scanning and collapsing of 64K mTHP when only 64K mTHP is enabled. Thus, we should modify the checks to allow all large orders of anonymous mTHP.
