unmap_hugepage_range is now not used outside CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE

It throws a warning. Yes it can be a seperate patch. But was not sure whether to
move that one line patch outside

Below is what unmap_hugepage_range is after all the change. And it doesn't get
used if CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not used. But we use __unmap_hugepage_range from
common code.If we get called with hugetlb not enabled, then that implies a BUG()

void unmap_hugepage_range(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long start,
			  unsigned long end, struct page *ref_page)
{
	struct mm_struct *mm;
	struct mmu_gather tlb;

	mm = vma->vm_mm;

	tlb_gather_mmu(&tlb, mm, 0);
	__unmap_hugepage_range(&tlb, vma, start, end, ref_page);
	tlb_finish_mmu(&tlb, start, end);
}

I didn't want to make larger changes here. My goal was to switch to mmu_gather APIs
without changing other loop logic.
