Something like this:

#ifdef CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH
static inline enum migratetype kho_scratch_migratetype(unsigned long pfn,
						       enum migratetype mt)
{
	if (memblock_is_kho_scratch_memory(PFN_PHYS(pfn)))
		return MIGRATE_CMA
	return mt;
}
#else
static inline enum migratetype kho_scratch_migratetype(unsigned long pfn,
						       enum migratetype mt)
{
	return mt;
}
#endif

Can't say I'm happy about the name, but could not think of something
better.
