mm, sparse, page_ext: drop ugly N_HIGH_MEMORY branches for allocations
Commit f52407ce ("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 959ecc48 ("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.
