This breaks the build when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not enabled
(defconfig) since debug_pagealloc_enabled() is not defined. A fix went
in next/master as commit 0987684b855c
("mm-slab-clean-up-debug_pagealloc-processing-code-fix"). I need to
track it down and merge it via the arm64 tree, otherwise I'll add some
#ifdefs in this function.

BTW, shouldn't the block_mappings_allowed() function be static?
