Dummy, non-zero definitions for HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE were added in 51c6f666fceb ("mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work") to avoid a divide by zero in generic kernel code. That code has since been removed, but probably should never have been added in the first place: we don't want HPAGE_SIZE to act like PAGE_SIZE for code that is working with hugepages, for example, when the dependency on CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE has not been fulfilled. Because hugepage size can differ from architecture to architecture, each is required to have their own definitions for both HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE. This is always done in arch/*/include/asm/page.h. So, just remove the dummy and dangerous definitions since they are no longer needed and reveals the correct dependencies. Tested on architectures using the definitions with allyesconfig: x86 (even with thp), hppa, mips, powerpc, s390, sh3, sh4, sparc, and sparc64, and with defconfig on ia64.
