Thanks. I made that typo when fixing up some trivial checkpatch warnings.
Lesson learned (again), nothing is too trivial not to introduce erros.

Yes, hugetlb_init is a better location for the BUILD_BUG_ON. I initially
put it there before creating the !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE version of the macros.
With the !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE versions, none of the flags are ever used so
it is OK if the BUILD_BUG_ON is not included if !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.
