NUMA_HINT_FAULTS and NUMA_HINT_FAULTS_LOCAL are only defined if
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING

include/linux/vm_event_item.h

#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
                NUMA_PTE_UPDATES,
                NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES,
                NUMA_HINT_FAULTS,
                NUMA_HINT_FAULTS_LOCAL,
                NUMA_PAGE_MIGRATE,
#endif

Really what i'm reading is that these functions are in the wrong file,
since ifdef spaghetti in *.c files is not encouraged.  These functions
should be moved somewhere else and given stubs if the build option is
off.
