Enable defer+madvise defragmention for THP by default

This should improve the performance of applications that use the tcmalloc memory allocator, which is used by Chromium/Electron and Valve's native games, among others. Ref: https://github.com/google/tcmalloc/blob/master/docs/tuning.md#system-level-optimizations

I guess the settings could be a little more customized

w- /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled - - - - - madvise w- /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag - - - - - - 1 w- /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag - - - - - defer+madvise

Should fix it

Kernel docs imply that setting defrag to 'madvise' would perform the stalling behavior seen in 'always', wouldn't 'defer' be more advantageous than 'defer+madvise' for interactivity?

Update: Team Fortress 2 does not seem to allocate any hugepages at all if /transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to 'madvise' instead of 'always', this appears to be a global issue with TCMalloc: https://github.com/google/tcmalloc/issues/85

Thanks for notice. I'll remove madvise for transparent_hugepage/enabled in that case.
