commit 3de0c269adc6c2fac0bb1fb11965f0de699dc32b upstream.

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.
