Revert CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS change of 
14209:1061c7bff38f3e6e66fee96c407977ad55b3f2f2.

Jan Beulich points out that it's not safe against mm pinning and unpinning.

+       help
+         This option allows you to change some of the ways that
+         Linux manages its memory internally.  Most users will
+         only have one option here: FLATMEM.  This is normal
+         and a correct option.
+
+         Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
+         memory hotplug may have different options here.
+         DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
+         but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
+         decreased performance over SPARSEMEM.  If unsure between
+         "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
+         "Discontiguous Memory".
+
+         If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

+config DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL
+       bool "Discontiguous Memory"
+       depends on ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
+       help
+         This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
+         memory systems, over FLATMEM.  These systems have holes
+         in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
+         more efficient handling of these holes.  However, the vast
+         majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
+         can have degraded performance from extra overhead that
+         this option imposes.
+
+         Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.
+
+         If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.
+
+config SPARSEMEM_MANUAL
+       bool "Sparse Memory"

+       help
+         This will be the only option for some systems, including
+         memory hotplug systems.  This is normal.
+
+         For many other systems, this will be an alternative to
+         "Discontiguous Memory".  This option provides some potential
+         performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,
+         but it is newer, and more experimental.
+
+         If unsure, choose "Discontiguous Memory" or "Flat Memory"
+         over this option.
