thp: introduce sysfs knob to disable huge zero page 

By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault.  It's
possible to disable huge zero page by writing 0 or enable it back by
writing 1:

echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page
echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page

By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault.
It's possible to disable huge zero page by writing 0 or enable it
back by writing 1:
echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page
echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page
khugepaged will be automatically started when
transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll
be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never".
