[PATCH 1/2] arm64: mm: only perform memstart_addr sanity check if DEBUG_VM

Checking whether memstart_addr has been assigned every time it is
referenced adds a branch instruction that may hurt performance if
the reference in question occurs on a hot path. So only perform the
check if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.
