Subject: [PATCH] Revert "hugetlb: make hugetlb depends on SYSFS or SYSCTL"

Commit f8142cf94d47 ("hugetlb: make hugetlb depends on SYSFS or SYSCTL")
added dependency on SYSFS or SYSCTL but hugetlb can be used without SYSFS
or SYSCTL. So this dependency is wrong and should be removed.

This reverts commit f8142cf94d4737ea0c3baffb3b9bad8addcb9b6b.
