Subject: [PATCH] userfaultfd: hugetlbfs: only compile UFFD helpers if config enabled

For background, mm/userfaultfd.c provides a general mcopy_atomic
implementation. But some types of memory (e.g., hugetlb and shmem) need
a slightly different implementation, so they provide their own helpers
for this. In other words, userfaultfd is the only caller of this
function.

This patch achieves two things:

1. Don't spend time compiling code which will end up never being
referenced anyway (a small build time optimization).

2. In future patches (e.g. [1]), we plan to extend the signature of
these helpers with UFFD-specific state (e.g., enums or structs defined
conditionally in userfaultfd_k.h). Once this happens, this patch will be
needed to avoid build errors (or, we'd need to define more UFFD-only
stuff unconditionally, which seems messier to me).

Peter Xu suggested this be sent as a standalone patch, in the mailing
list discussion for [1].
