Michal Hocko e3d301cae0 mm/memblock.c: do not complain about top-down allocations for !MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
Mike Rapoport is converting architectures from bootmem to nobootmem
allocator.  While doing so for m68k Geert has noticed that he gets a
scary looking warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at mm/memblock.c:230
  memblock_find_in_range_node+0x11c/0x1be
  memblock: bottom-up allocation failed, memory hotunplug may be affected

The warning is basically saying that a top-down allocation can break
memory hotremove because memblock allocation is not movable.  But m68k
doesn't even support MEMORY_HOTREMOVE so there is no point to warn about
it.

Make the warning conditional only to configurations that care.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
