mm: remove VM_EXEC requirement for THP eligibility
Commit e6be37b2 ("mm/huge_memory.c: add missing read-only THP checking in transparent_hugepage_enabled()") introduced the VM_EXEC requirement, which is not strictly needed. lld's default --rosegment option and GNU ld's -z separate-code option (default on Linux/x86 since binutils 2.31) create a read-only PT_LOAD segment without the PF_X flag, which should be eligible for THP. Certain architectures support medium and large code models, where .lrodata may be placed in a separate read-only PT_LOAD segment, which should be eligible for THP as well.
