Andrea Arcangeli 5d6892407c thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled 
With transparent hugepage support we need compaction for the "defrag"
sysfs controls to be effective.

At the moment THP hangs the system if COMPACTION isn't selected, as
without COMPACTION lumpy reclaim wouldn't be entirely disabled.  So at the
moment it's not orthogonal.  When lumpy will be removed from the VM I can
remove the select COMPACTION in theory, but then 99% of THP users would be
still doing a mistake in disabling compaction, even if the mistake won't
return in fatal runtime but just slightly degraded performance.  So from a
theoretical standpoing forcing the below select is not needed (the
dependency isn't strict nor at compile time nor at runtime) but from a
practical standpoint it is safer.

If anybody really wants THP to run without compaction, it'd be such a
weird setup that editing the Kconfig file to allow it will be surely not a
problem.
