I don't really care for !NUMA optimization. I believe that most of setups
that benefit from THP has NUMA enabled compile time.

But if you wanna to go this path, make an effort to cleanup other
artifacts for the !NUMA optimization: the ifdef has to be gone and all
callers of these helpers has to be revisited. There's more opportunities to
cleanup. Like it is very odd that khugepaged_prealloc_page() frees the
page.
