Subject: mm/page_alloc: Revert pahole zero-sized workaround
Commit dbbee9d5cd83 ("mm/page_alloc: convert per-cpu list protection to
local_lock") folded in a workaround patch for pahole that was unable to
deal with zero-sized percpu structures. A superior workaround is achieved
with commit a0b8200d06ad ("kbuild: skip per-CPU BTF generation for pahole
v1.18-v1.21"). This patch reverts the dummy field and the pahole version
check.
