Currently memtrace doesn't build if NUMA=n:
In function ‘memtrace_alloc_node’:
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c:134:6:
error: the address of ‘contig_page_data’ will always evaluate as ‘true’
if (!NODE_DATA(nid) || !node_spanned_pages(nid))
^
This is because for NUMA=n NODE_DATA(nid) points to an always
allocated structure, contig_page_data.
But even in the NUMA=y case memtrace_alloc_node() is only called for
online nodes, and we should always have a NODE_DATA() allocated for an
online node. So remove the (hopefully) overly paranoid check, which
also means we can build when NUMA=n.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
