I am not sure what this patch gets us. If this is to minimize the
size of the module - so say it gets loaded, but tmem-enabled is
not set nor cleancache and we just have it consuming memory - we can do it
via returning -ENODEV on the module load.

But why compile in something that one may never use? At least with this patch
I'll have a choice to turn it off if I don't need it.
For example when I build hardened kernel, I'd like to turn of all unnecessary
features for a particular config (i.e. reduce attack surface as much as possible).
