Which arch are you building? I did not see any error
after applying this patch on mmotm (reverting the existing ones)
and compiling them on x86_64. I used make x86_64_defconfig and
unselected COMPACTION and MIGRATION.

mm/migrate.c and added vm events will not be used
if CONFIG_MIGRATION is unchecked. Why would they cause compilation errors?
