Yup, will remove.

Kinda makes sense, but I have no idea how to make sure with compile
testing this is really the case. And I didn't see any hard evidence in
Kconfig or Makefile that mmu notifiers requires CONFIG_MMU. So not sure
what to do here.

Should I just remove the nommu version of follow_pfn and see what happens?
We can't remove it earlier since it's still used by other subsystems.
