Subject: [PATCH] mm: make arch_has_descending_max_zone_pfns() static

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

clang produces a build failure on x86 for some randconfig builds
after a change that moves around code to mm/mm_init.c:

Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
mm/mm_init.o: failed

I have not been able to figure out why this happens, but the __weak
annotation on arch_has_descending_max_zone_pfns() is the trigger here.

Removing the weak function in favor of an open-coded Kconfig option
check avoids the problem and becomes clearer as well as better to
optimize by the compiler.

Fixes: 9420f89db2dd ("mm: move most of core MM initialization to mm/mm_init.c")
