mm/hugetlb: early exit from hugetlb_pages_alloc_boot() when max_huge_pages=0

commit b322e88b3d553e85b4e15779491c70022783faa4 upstream.

Optimize hugetlb_pages_alloc_boot() to return immediately when
max_huge_pages is 0, avoiding unnecessary CPU cycles and the below log
message when hugepages aren't configured in the kernel command line.
[    3.702280] HugeTLB: allocation took 0ms with hugepage_allocation_threads=32
