As hugetlb.h evolved over time, I suspect nobody imagined a configuration
with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE and not CONFIG_HUGETLBFS. This patch does address
the build issues. So,

Reviewed-by: Mike Kravetz <mike.kravetz@oracle.com>

However, there are many definitions in that file not behind #ifdef
CONFIG_HUGETLBFS that make no sense unless CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is defined.
Such cleanup is way beyond the scope of this patch/effort. I will add
it to the list of hugetlb/hugetlbfs things that can be cleaned up.
