Some mm Kconfig entries repeat dependencies that are already expressed by
their surrounding blocks or menus.
The zsmalloc allocator options menu already depends on ZSMALLOC, so the
outer if ZSMALLOC block does not add any extra constraint. MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
and MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY are both inside the if MEMORY_HOTPLUG block, so
their local depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG entries are redundant.
PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP is the only entry under if USERFAULTFD. Move the
USERFAULTFD dependency into the symbol itself and combine it with the
architecture support dependency.
This keeps the same visibility and defaults while avoiding duplicate
dependency expressions.

purposes. It is required to enable userfaultfd write protection on
