Subject: [PATCH][v2] mm/hugetlb: early exit from hugetlb_pages_alloc_boot() when max_huge_pages=0

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@...du.com>

Optimize hugetlb_pages_alloc_boot() to return immediately when
max_huge_pages is 0, avoiding unnecessary CPU cycles and the below
log message when hugepages aren't configured in the kernel command
line.
[    3.702280] HugeTLB: allocation took 0ms with hugepage_allocation_threads=32
