The only users of ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE on arm64 are:

arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:            if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE) &&
mm/hugetlb.c:#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE
mm/hugetlb.c:#else /* !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE */
mm/hugetlb.c:#endif /* CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE */

and neither of those files are compiled if !HUGETLB_PAGE.

Are you actually seeing a problem here?
