Keith Busch observed some incorrect macros defined in arm64 code [1].
It turns out the two lines should never be needed and won't be exposed to
anyone, because aarch64 doesn't select HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD,
hence ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP is always N. The only archs that support
THP PUDs so far are x86 and powerpc.
Instead of fixing the lines (with no way to test it..), remove the two
lines that are in reality dead code, to avoid confusing readers.
Fixes tag is attached to reflect where the wrong macros were introduced,
but explicitly not copying stable, because there's no real issue to be
fixed. So it's only about removing the dead code so far.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
