mm: microoptimize zonelist operations

next_zones_zonelist() returns a zoneref pointer, as well as a zone pointer
via extra parameter.  Since the latter can be trivially obtained by
dereferencing the former, the overhead of the extra parameter is
unjustified.

This patch thus removes the zone parameter from next_zones_zonelist().
Both callers happen to be in the same header file, so it's simple to add
the zoneref dereference inline.  We save some bytes of code size.
