Because there won't be anything memcg specific with the config disabled.
mem_cgroup_iter will expand to NULL memcg, mem_cgroup_protected switch
compiled out, mem_cgroup_lruvec will return the lruvec abstraction which
resolves to pgdat and the rest is not memcg dependent. We could have
split up the reclaim protection or the loop out of the line but I
believe it is better to be clearly visible.
