There also seems be more missing stubs. I'm getting:

aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: mm/memory-failure.o: in function `unpoison_memory':
memory-failure.c:(.text+0x1c38): undefined reference to `memblk_nr_poison_sub'
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: mm/memory-failure.o: in function `num_poisoned_pages_inc':
memory-failure.c:(.text+0x2c8c): undefined reference to `memblk_nr_poison_inc'
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: memory-failure.c:(.text+0x2cbc): undefined reference to `memblk_nr_poison_inc'

On a board where CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not set, but
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE is. So either there are stubs missing or
MEMORY_FAILURE should depend MEMORY_HOTPLUG (?!).
