mm: page_alloc: remove stale CMA guard code
In the past, movable allocations could be disallowed from CMA through
PF_MEMALLOC_PIN. As CMA pages are funneled through the MOVABLE pcplist,
this required filtering that cornercase during allocations, such that
pinnable allocations wouldn't accidentally get a CMA page.
However, since 8e3560d963d2 ("mm: honor PF_MEMALLOC_PIN for all movable
pages"), PF_MEMALLOC_PIN automatically excludes __GFP_MOVABLE. Once
again, MOVABLE implies CMA is allowed.
Remove the stale filtering code. Also remove a stale comment that was
introduced as part of the filtering code, because the filtering let
order-0 pages fall through to the buddy allocator. See 1d91df85f399
("mm/page_alloc: handle a missing case for memalloc_nocma_{save/restore}
APIs") for context. The comment's been obsolete since the introduction of
the explicit ALLOC_HIGHATOMIC flag in eb2e2b425c69 ("mm/page_alloc:
explicitly record high-order atomic allocations in alloc_flags").
