I never realized smaps was the only user! Great!

There are a few cases where the return value for smaps will be
different from before. I presume this won't be an issue, and that any
difference resulting from this change is actually a positive
difference, given it more accurately reflects the thp eligibility of
the vma? For example, a VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED-marked vma might now show 0
where it otherwise showed 1.
