For background, mm/userfaultfd.c provides a general mcopy_atomic implementation. But some types of memory (e.g., hugetlb and shmem) need a slightly different implementation, so they provide their own helpers for this. In other words, userfaultfd is the only caller of this function. This patch achieves two things: 1. Don't spend time compiling code which will end up never being referenced anyway (a small build time optimization). 2. In future patches (e.g. [1]), we plan to extend the signature of these helpers with UFFD-specific state (e.g., enums or structs defined conditionally in userfaultfd_k.h). Once this happens, this patch will be needed to avoid build errors (or, we'd need to define more UFFD-only stuff unconditionally, which seems messier to me). Peter Xu suggested this be sent as a standalone patch, in the mailing list discussion for [1].
