Commit cd02cf1aceea ("mm/hotplug: fix an imbalance with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC") fixed
memory hotplug with debug_pagealloc enabled, where onlining a page goes through
page freeing, which removes the direct mapping. Some arches don't like when the
page is not mapped in the first place, so generic_online_page() maps it first.
This is somewhat wasteful, but better than special casing page freeing fast
paths.
The commit however missed that DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured doesn't mean it's
actually enabled. One has to test debug_pagealloc_enabled() since 031bc5743f15
("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable"), or alternatively
debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() since 8e57f8acbbd1 ("mm, debug_pagealloc:
don't rely on static keys too early"), but this is not done.
As a result, a s390 kernel with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured but not enabled
will crash:
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
Failing address: 0000000000000000 TEID: 0000000000000483

Fix this by checking debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() before calling
kernel_map_pages(). Backports for kernel before 5.5 should use
debug_pagealloc_enabled() instead. Also add comments.
