SHMEM_HUGE_DENY is for emergency use by the admin, to disable allocation
of shmem huge pages if, for example, a dangerous bug is found in their
usage: see "deny" in Documentation/mm/transhuge.rst.  An app using
madvise(,,MADV_COLLAPSE) should not be allowed to override it: restore
its precedence over shmem_huge_force.

Restore SHMEM_HUGE_DENY precedence over MADV_COLLAPSE.

Fixes: 7c6c6cc4d3a2 ("mm/shmem: add flag to enforce shmem THP in hugepage_vma_check()")

v2->v3: Add 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' as per stable-kernel-rules.
v1->v2: Update changelog, and add note explaining rationale for
	backporting  (Andrew Morton).

Request to backport this to 6.1.X stable.  We'd like SHMEM_HUGE_DENY to
take precedence over MADV_COLLAPSE.  If we make this change later, it
will be a userspace API change.  As such, 6.1 cannot be allowed to
continue as-is, and we should fix up the code there.
