[PATCH] mm: shmem: fix incorrect vm_flags usage when checking allowable orders

[Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com>]

Lance reported that when MADV_HUGEPAGE is set on a tmpfs file mounted with
huge=advise option, khugepaged fails the allowable order check and does not
scan the tmpfs file for collapse.

After commit 6beeab870e70 ("mm: shmem: move shmem_huge_global_enabled() into
shmem_allowable_huge_orders()"), the shmem/tmpfs allowable order check reads
vma->vm_flags directly.  However, when MADV_HUGEPAGE is handled,
khugepaged_enter_vma() is called before the VMA's vm_flags have been updated,
so the check uses stale flags and incorrectly rejects the VMA for collapse.
As a result, khugepaged does not collapse the tmpfs file into PMD order in time.

Fix this by passing vm_flags as a parameter to shmem_allowable_huge_orders()
instead of reading it from the vm_area_struct.
