I am not sure it's a good idea.
Now if we need just GFP_KERNEL, we can't make sure it in future.
Sometime we might need GFP_ATOMIC and friendd functions
(ex, add_to_page_cache_lru,add_to_page_cache_locked) already have gfp_mask.
It's a exported function so it's hard to modify it in future.

I want to keep it.
Instead of removing it, we can change mem_cgroup_prepare_migration as
getting gfp_mask.
