Yes. Steven has already reported the same [1]. There are two possible
ways around this. Either provide and empty stub or use ifdef around
memblock_next_valid_pfn. I would use the later because it is less
confusing. We really do not want memblock_next_valid_pfn to be used
outside of memblock aware code.
