Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

mm/built-in.o: In function `.__offline_pages.constprop.10':
memory_hotplug.c:(.ref.text+0x10ec): undefined reference to `.is_hugepage_active'

Caused by commit 9a9137504d7c ("mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug
to handle hugepage").

This build has CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE (which exposes the declaration of
is_hugepage_active() in include/linux/hugetlb.h, but
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE unset (which hides the definition of
is_hugepage_active() in mm/hugetlb.c.

The single caller (in mm/memory_hotplug.c) is protected by
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.

I have applied this patch for today (which may also not work in every
case):
