You missed a ";" right there.

I might be missing something, but I do not think we need a BUILD_BUG_ON there
when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not set?
Actually, would make more sense to move the BUILD_BUG_ON from above to
hugetlb_init?

Other than that, looks good to me, and I think it is a great improvment
towards readability and maintability.
