I would not print anything and rather have

return memmap_on_memory &&
       !is_hugetlb_free_vmemmap_enabled &&
       IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY) &&
       size == memory_block_size_bytes() &&
       IS_ALIGNED(vmemmap_size, PMD_SIZE) &&
       IS_ALIGNED(remaining_size, pageblock_nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT);

Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt already provides an
explanation on memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory parameter that states
that the feature cannot be enabled when using hugetlb-vmemmap
optimization.

Users can always check whether the feature is enabled via
/sys/modules/memory_hotplug/parameters/memmap_on_memory.

Also, I did not check if it is, but if not, the fact about hugetlb-vmemmmap vs
hotplug-vmemmap should also be called out in the hugetlb-vmemmap kernel
parameter.

Thanks
