thp: transparent hugepage config choice

Allow to choose between the always|madvise default for page faults and
khugepaged at config time.  madvise guarantees zero risk of higher memory
footprint for applications (applications using madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE)
won't risk to use any more memory by backing their virtual regions with
hugepages).

Initially set the default to N and don't depend on EMBEDDED.
