CONFIG_HUGETLBFS and CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE existed before, and
HUGETLBFS=n && HUGETLB_PAGE=y used to build just fine, I clearly
didn't try a build with HUGETLBFS=n recently.

Yes, it used to build just fine but I guess after the last hugetlbfs
updates I'm getting flood of errors no matter how I adjust things.
hugetlbfs code who needs some fixup here.
