Mike Rapoport is converting architectures from bootmem to nobootmem
allocator.  While doing so for m68k Geert has noticed that he gets a
scary looking warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at mm/memblock.c:230
  memblock_find_in_range_node+0x11c/0x1be
  memblock: bottom-up allocation failed, memory hotunplug may be affected

The warning is basically saying that a top-down allocation can break
memory hotremove because memblock allocation is not movable.  But m68k
doesn't even support MEMORY_HOTREMOVE so there is no point to warn about
it.

Make the warning conditional only to configurations that care.
