Subject: [PATCH 1/1] hugetlb: fix CONFIG_PADATA dependency for non-SMP system

Randy Dunlap and kernel test robot reported a warning:

```
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PADATA
  Depends on [n]: SMP [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - HUGETLBFS [=y] && (X86 [=y] || SPARC64 || ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS [=n] || BROKEN [=n]) && (SYSFS [=y] || SYSCTL [=n])
```

hugetlb parallelization depends on PADATA, and PADATA depends on SMP, so
when the SMP config is disabled, the dependency of hugetlb on padata
should be downgraded to single thread.

Fixes: f2f635264b98 ("hugetlb: have CONFIG_HUGETLBFS select CONFIG_PADATA")
Reported-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ec5dc528-2c3c-4444-9e88-d2c48395b433@infradead.org/
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@...el.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202402020454.6EPkP1hi-lkp@intel.com/

Hi Andrew, this fix patch is based on mm/mm-unstable.
Thanks!
