this is weird and huge_memory.c is only built with
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE = y;
mm/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) += huge_memory.o khugepaged.o

this is making
mm/rmap.c:1680: undefined reference to `unmap_huge_pmd_locked'
mm/rmap.c:1687: undefined reference to `split_huge_pmd_locked'
