vfs_init_caches_early() does nothing on IA-64 and x86-64 (unless you
turn off CONFIG_NUMA): hashdist is set by default on these platforms.
Maybe some obscure feature which requires VFS to be set up v. early
(hence is broken in this configuration), or something arch-specific
(which seems unlikely). Most likely this is a relic.
Unless someone has inside knowledge, the easiest way to find out is to
rip it out and see if anyone screams. Boots fine on my 32-bit x86 box here.
