I think this provides more flexibility in configuration, when:
	CONFIG_COMPACTION=n
	CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE=n
	CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION=n
	CONFIG_CMA=n
	CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE=y
Users can choose whether to enable migration, just like what commit
6ebf98d71f9b509e833e ("mm: introduce CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION and simplify
CONFIG_MIGRATION") done. However, it does add a new config, which may
confuse the users...

I think that just making MEMORY_FAILURE select MIGRATION is also a very
good solution, and I respect the maintainers' opinion.
