32 bit support is broken in various ways: for example, we can online
memory that should actually go to ZONE_HIGHMEM to ZONE_MOVABLE or in
some cases even to one of the other kernel zones.

We marked it BROKEN in commit b59d02ed0869 ("mm/memory_hotplug: disable the
functionality for 32b") almost one year ago. According to that commit
it might be broken at least since 2017. Further, there is hardly a sane use
case nowadays.

Let's just depend completely on 64bit, dropping the "BROKEN" dependency to
make clear that we are not going to support it again. Next, we'll remove
some HIGHMEM leftovers from memory hotplug code to clean up.
