There is a fallback implementation of has_svnapot(), so you do not need this
preprocessor check. With that removed:

As a side note, and this is probably premature optimization... PGDIR_SIZE and
P4D_SIZE check pgtable_l{4,5}_enabled. That's not really necessary here, since
we are just trying to round down, and there won't be any higher-order hugepages
if those paging levels are disabled.
