Randy Dunlap and kernel test robot reported a warning:
```
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PADATA
Depends on [n]: SMP [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- HUGETLBFS [=y] && (X86 [=y] || SPARC64 || ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS [=n] || BROKEN [=n]) && (SYSFS [=y] || SYSCTL [=n])
```
hugetlb parallelization depends on PADATA, and PADATA depends on SMP.
PADATA consists of two distinct functionality: One part is
padata_do_multithreaded which disregards order and simply divides
tasks into several groups for parallel execution. Hugetlb
init parallelization depends on padata_do_multithreaded.
The other part is composed of a set of APIs that, while handling data in
an out-of-order parallel manner, can eventually return the data with
ordered sequence. Currently Only `crypto/pcrypt.c` use them.
All users of PADATA of non-SMP case currently only use
padata_do_multithreaded. It is easy to implement a serial one in
include/linux/padata.h. And it is not necessary to implement another
functionality unless the only user of crypto/pcrypt.c does not depend on
SMP in the future.
