Yes, the enclosing conditional:

if (pmd_devmap(pmd) || pmd_trans_huge(pmd)) {

is statically false if !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE

This is proven today, as the fallback stub is a function prototype
with no implementation:

-int hmm_vma_handle_pmd(struct mm_walk *walk, unsigned long addr,
-		unsigned long end, uint64_t *pfns, pmd_t pmd);

If the compiler wasn't optimizing the above branch we'd get link
failures.
