It also needs to depend on PROC_FS in that case - as per the updated patch
below.

Subject: [PATCH] hwpoison: fix build failure
Today's -tip fails to build due to upstream commit
1a9b5b7fe0c5dad8a635288882d36785dea742f9 ("mm: export stable
page flags") (authored and merged yesterday) causing the
following build failure on x86 when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
disabled:
mm/built-in.o: In function `hwpoison_filter':
(.text+0x39fbf): undefined reference to `stable_page_flags'
The bug is that the stable_page_flags() API is only available
under CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR, but utilized in
mm/memory-failure.c unconditionally.
I've applied the patch below to -tip for now, which expresses
this dependency in the Kconfig. (Eventually a cleaner solution
would be to factor such ABI details out of procfs, they dont
belong there.)
