mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility

Commit 7635d9cbe8 ("mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each
vma") introduced THPeligible bit for processes' smaps.  But, when
checking the eligibility for shmem vma, __transparent_hugepage_enabled()
is called to override the result from shmem_huge_enabled().  It may
result in the anonymous vma's THP flag override shmem's.  For example,
running a simple test which create THP for shmem, but with anonymous THP
disabled, when reading the process's smaps, it may show:

  7fc92ec00000-7fc92f000000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 27764 /dev/shm/test
  Size:               4096 kB
  ...
  [snip]
  ...
  ShmemPmdMapped:     4096 kB
  ...
  [snip]
  ...
  THPeligible:    0

And, /proc/meminfo does show THP allocated and PMD mapped too:

  ShmemHugePages:     4096 kB
  ShmemPmdMapped:     4096 kB

This doesn't make too much sense.  The shmem objects should be treated
separately from anonymous THP.  Calling shmem_huge_enabled() with
checking MMF_DISABLE_THP sounds good enough.  And, we could skip stack
and dax vma check since we already checked if the vma is shmem already.

Also check if vma is suitable for THP by calling
transhuge_vma_suitable().

And minor fix to smaps output format and documentation.
