Commit cd02cf1aceea ("mm/hotplug: fix an imbalance with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC")
fixed memory hotplug with debug_pagealloc enabled, where onlining a page
goes through page freeing, which removes the direct mapping.  Some arches
don't like when the page is not mapped in the first place, so
generic_online_page() maps it first.  This is somewhat wasteful, but
better than special casing page freeing fast paths.

The commit however missed that DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured doesn't mean
it's actually enabled.  One has to test debug_pagealloc_enabled() since
031bc5743f15 ("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime
configurable"), or alternatively debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() since
8e57f8acbbd1 ("mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early"),
but this is not done.

As a result, a s390 kernel with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured but not enabled
will crash:

Fix this by checking debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() before calling
kernel_map_pages(). Backports for kernel before 5.5 should use
debug_pagealloc_enabled() instead. Also add comments.
