Remove the !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE stub for alloc_hugetlb_folio(). The stub is dead code: all callers are in mm/hugetlb.c (CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE) or fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c (CONFIG_HUGETLBFS), and CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is def_bool HUGETLBFS with nothing selecting it independently.
The stub is also broken: it returns NULL, but all callers check IS_ERR(folio), so a NULL return would not be caught and would crash on the subsequent folio dereference. Remove it now since follow-up patches change the signature of alloc_hugetlb_folio and would otherwise need to update the broken stub too. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
