Hmm, this should rather live in include/linux/vmalloc.h, otherwise every future
user of vmalloc_user_node_flags() would need to add this ifdef? vmalloc.h has
the below, so perhaps this could be added there instead:

[..]
#ifndef CONFIG_MMU
extern void *__vmalloc_node_flags(unsigned long size, int node, gfp_t flags);
static inline void *__vmalloc_node_flags_caller(unsigned long size, int node,
                                                 gfp_t flags, void *caller)
{
         return __vmalloc_node_flags(size, node, flags);
}
#else
extern void *__vmalloc_node_flags_caller(unsigned long size,
                                          int node, gfp_t flags, void *caller);
#endif
[..]
