It may be unnecessary to be fixed in this patch.  But I think we need to
cleanup the kernel config dependencies of the demotion code at some time.

1. Even if !defined(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) &&
   !defined(CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG), we still need to allocate
   "node_demotion" and call set_migration_target_nodes() during boot time.

2. If !defined(CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG), we don't need
   migrate_on_reclaim_callback().

3. We need defined(CONFIG_NUMA) && defined(CONFIG_MIGRATION) for all
   these code.

Huang, Ying
