See this 6.12 thread[1] for this build failure (I didn't check but
assume it is the same, that missing commit only made it 7.3-rc1 but was
also backported to the 7.2 tree, which also explains 7.2 didn't build
fail)

This builds on master because this commit:
f5407e9b697c ("mm/rmap: use huge_ptep_get() in try_to_unmap_one()")
added a function declaration in linux/hugetlb.h !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
code:
```
diff --git a/include/linux/hugetlb.h b/include/linux/hugetlb.h
index 817b8b4223fa..95b1b6ee1f96 100644

The rest of that commit isn't applicable, so we either need to roll that
change in 'mm/migrate: use huge_ptep_get() in remove_migration_pte()' or
add it separately (or drop that commit)
