Hi Kaitao, thank you for the patch.

I think the changes look good. hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable is just a
oneliner that checks hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable_size != 0 anyways
so this change seems clean with no side effects.

Notably this leaves the only user of hugetlb_vmemmap_optimizable_size
an inittimepr_info statement. Just thought I would note that here.

Have a great day!
