[ Upstream commit d39f8fb4b7776dcb09ec3bf7a321547083078ee3 ]
The deferred memory initialization relies on section definitions, e.g PAGES_PER_SECTION, that are only available when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y on most architectures.
Initially DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depended on explicit ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT configuration option, but since the commit 2e3ca40f03bb13709df4 ("mm: relax deferred struct page requirements") this requirement was relaxed and now it is possible to enable DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT on architectures that support DISCONTINGMEM and NO_BOOTMEM which causes build failures.
For instance, setting SMP=y and DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y on arc causes the following build failure:

Let's make the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT explicitly depend on SPARSEMEM as the systems that support DISCONTIGMEM do not seem to have that huge amounts of memory that would make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT relevant.
