Optimize hugetlb_pages_alloc_boot() to return immediately when
max_huge_pages is 0, saving cycles when hugepages aren't configured in
the kernel command line.

Do we really care?


I find this when I see the boot log, I think this log is unnecessary if user did not configure hugetlbfs in kernel cmdline

kernel: HugeTLB: allocation took 0ms with hugepage_allocation_threads=32

That's valuable information to add to the patch description :)
