I'm highly suspicious of any "cleanup" that adds more code than it
deletes.  What does this clean up?

This patch is a little bit confused.  It makes the
get_zholes_size_srat() always safe to call at runtime.  However, it
still creates a compile-time stub version of it as well.  

In addition, you already have the srat.c-local zholes_size_init, but you
still add the has_srat variable.  Seems a bit superfluous.

Calling get_zholes_size_numaq() at runtime is unnecessary.  The NUMA-Q
is not supported with the ARCH_GENERIC code.
