Subject: mm: remove hugetlb_inline.h
Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2026 17:32:57 +0100

This header really makes little sense - every place it is included mm.h is
also included, and the header itself includes mm.h, so it does nothing to
reduce header size.

It also oddly does an #ifdef around checking VMA_HUGETLB_BIT, however
VMA_HUGETLB_BIT is unconditionally available, and will never be set if
hugetlb is not enabled.

Simply remove the header, eliminate the odd ifdeffery and place the
predicates in mm.h.

The naming of these predicates is odd, but to keep changes separate, we
will address this in a separate patch.

The file was never put into MAINTAINERS so there's no change required
there.

No functional change intended.
