Avoid MIGRATION config warning when COMPACTION is selected but numa
and memhotplug aren't.

These had heavy rejects, the last two patches and other bits got
removed. memcg code is rewritten so fast it's hard to justify to keep
up with it. It's simpler and less time consuming to fix it just once
than over and over again. Likely memcg in this release isn't too
stable with THP on (it'll definitely work fine if you disable THP at
compile time or at boot time with the kernel parameter). Especially
all get_css/put_css will have to be re-audited after these new
changes. For now it builds just fine and the basics to support THP and
to show the direction are in. Nevertheless I welcome patches to fix
this up.
btw, memcg developers could already support THP inside memcg even if
THP is not included yet without any sort of problem, so it's also
partly up to them to want to support THP in memcg, but it's also
perfectly ok to catch up with memcg externally, but it'd be also nice
to know when memcg reaches a milestone and so when it's time to
re-audit it all for THP.
