mm/khugepaged: run khugepaged for all orders

If any order (m)THP is enabled we should allow running khugepaged to
attempt scanning and collapsing mTHPs.  In order for khugepaged to operate
when only mTHP sizes are specified in sysfs, we must modify the predicate
function that determines whether it ought to run to do so.

This function is currently called hugepage_pmd_enabled(), this patch
renames it to hugepage_enabled() and updates the logic to check to
determine whether any valid orders may exist which would justify
khugepaged running.

We must also update collapse_possible_orders() to check all orders if the
vma is anonymous and the collapse is khugepaged.

After this patch khugepaged mTHP collapse is fully enabled.
