Re: [RFC PATCH 3/3] powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Don't enable HugeTLB if we don't have a page table cache

This makes sure we don't enable HugeTLB if the cache is not configured.
I am still not sure about this. IMHO hugetlb support should be a hardware
support derivative and any cache allocation failure should be handled as I did
in the earlier patch. But then if we were not able to create hugetlb page table
cache, we can as well declare hugetlb support disabled thereby avoiding calling
into allocation routines.

I'd just not worry about the if.

We're not actually doing anything to disable it in the
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE=n case, but I guess the print is still
correct because we didn't enable a size in the for loop above?

Can we make it a bit more explicit? Maybe like:

  "Disabling HugeTLB, no usable page sizes found."

??
