mm/debug_vm_pgtable: fix kernel crash by checking for THP support

Architectures can have CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled but no THP
support enabled based on platforms.  For ex: with 4K PAGE_SIZE ppc64
supports THP only with radix translation.

This results in below crash when running with hash translation and 4K
PAGE_SIZE.

    kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/hash-4k.h:140!
    cpu 0x61: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000ff948f860]

        lr: debug_vm_pgtable+0x474/0x8b0
    ...
        debug_vm_pgtable+0x374/0x8b0 (unreliable)

        kernel_init_freeable+0x330/0x3fc
        kernel_init+0x24/0x148

Check for THP support correctly
