[patch for-4.11] mm, thp: fix setting of defer+madvise thp defrag mode

From: David Rientjes
Date: Wed Apr 05 2017 - 21:17:58 EST


Setting thp defrag mode of "defer+madvise" actually sets "defer" in the
kernel due to the name similarity and the out-of-order way the string is
checked in defrag_store().

Check the string in the correct order so that
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_DEFRAG_KSWAPD_OR_MADV_FLAG is set appropriately for
"defer+madvise".

Fixes: 21440d7eb904 ("mm, thp: add new defer+madvise defrag option")
