From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, sparse, page_ext: drop ugly N_HIGH_MEMORY branches for allocations
f52407ce2dea ("memory hotplug: alloc page from other node in memory
online") has introduced N_HIGH_MEMORY checks to only use NUMA aware
allocations when there is some memory present because the respective node
might not have any memory yet at the time and so it could fail or even
OOM. Things have changed since then though. Zonelists are now always
initialized before we do any allocations even for hotplug (see
959ecc48fc75 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug
zonelist")). Therefore these checks are not really needed. In fact
caller of the allocator should never care about whether the node is
populated because that might change at any time.
