I thought the compiler is smart enough to find out this code
is unnecessary so that it will be dropped. But I am wrong,
I did a test showing the compiler does optimize the code
when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is disabled, but it is not
enough compared with adding the check of "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG)".
I will add the check back in a separate patch (I suspect it is easy
for Andrew to merge).
