mm, memory_hotplug: drop CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE
Commit 20b2f52b73fe ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for
movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a
good explanation on why it is actually useful.
It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we
already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on
the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the
configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an
additional ifdefery that pollutes the code.
Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This
shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

160 | Allow a node to have only movable memory. Pages used by the kernel, | ||
161 | such as direct mapping pages cannot be migrated. So the corresponding | ||
162 | memory device cannot be hotplugged. This option allows the following | ||
163 | two things: | ||
164 | - When the system is booting, node full of hotpluggable memory can | ||
165 | be arranged to have only movable memory so that the whole node can | ||
166 | be hot-removed. (need movable_node boot option specified). | ||
167 | - After the system is up, the option allows users to online all the | ||
168 | memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole node can be | ||
169 | hot-removed. | ||
170 | |||
171 | Users who don't use the memory hotplug feature are fine with this | ||
172 | option on since they don't specify movable_node boot option or they | ||
173 | don't online memory as movable. | ||
174 | |||
175 | Say Y here if you want to hotplug a whole node. | ||
176 | Say N here if you want kernel to use memory on all nodes evenly. | ||
