[RFC patch 6/7] thp, s390: disable thp for kvm host on System z

[Gerald Schaefer]

This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on System z.
It disables thp for kvm hosts, because there is no kvm host hugepage
support so far. Existing thp mappings are split using follow_page()
with FOLL_SPLIT, and future thp mappings are prevented by setting
VM_NOHUGEPAGE in mm->def_flags.
