Clarify pgdat_to_phys() by testing if
pgdat == &contig_page_data when CONFIG_NUMA=n.

contig_page_data is only available when CONFIG_NUMA=n
so we have to use #ifndef here.

No functional change intended.

Comment from Mark [1]:
"
... and I reckon it'd be clearer and more robust to define
pgdat_to_phys() in the same ifdefs as contig_page_data so
that these, stay in-sync. e.g. have:

| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x)	virt_to_phys(x)
| #else /* CONFIG_NUMA */
|
| extern struct pglist_data contig_page_data;
| ...
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x)	__pa_symbol(&contig_page_data)
|
| #endif /* CONIFIG_NUMA */
"

Comment from Mike [2]:
"
I'm not sure a macro is better than a static inline.

Maybe we'd want to warn if pgdat passed to pgtat_to_phys() is not
&contig_page_data, e.g something like

static inline phys_addr_t pgdat_to_phys(struct pglist_data *pgdat)
{
	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NUMA)) {
		if (pgdat == &contig_page_data)
			return __pa_symbol(&contig_page_data);
		else
			pr_warn("Unexpected pglist_data pointer!\n");
	}

	return __pa(pgdat);
}

Change since v1:
Thanks for Mike's comment, check if pgdat == &contig_page_data,
so it is clearer that we only expect contig_page_data when
CONFIG_NUMA=n.

Shouldn't this rather be a VM_BUG_ON()?

Because it looks like something that should barely happen and we might 
not want to perform runtime checks on each and every system?

thanks for your comment, I will use VM_BUG_ON() to check if pgdat ==
contig_page_data to avoid the runtime check.
