Yes, you need do the below check for readonly FS THP too:

if ((vm_flags & VM_NOHUGEPAGE) ||
test_bit(MMF_DISABLE_THP, &vma->vm_mm->flags))
return false;

This check is done separately for anonymous and shmem. It seems not
perfect to do it three times in a row. So I'd suggest extracting the
check into a common helper then call it at the top of
transparent_hugepage_enabled() .

The helper also could replace the same check in
__transparent_hugepage_enabled() and shmem_huge_enabled().
