mmu_notifier: Reduce size of mm_struct if !CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER

Andrea and Peter had a concern about this.

Use an #ifdef to make the mmu_notifer_head structure empty if we have
no notifier. That allows the use of the structure in inline functions
(which allows parameter verification even if !CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER)
