mm: drop meminit_pfn_in_nid as it is redundant
As best as I can tell the meminit_pfn_in_nid call is completely redundant. The deferred memory initialization is already making use of for_each_free_mem_range which in turn will call into __next_mem_range which will only return a memory range if it matches the node ID provided assuming it is not NUMA_NO_NODE. I am operating on the assumption that there are no zones or pgdata_t structures that have a NUMA node of NUMA_NO_NODE associated with them. If that is the case then __next_mem_range will never return a memory range that doesn't match the zone's node ID and as such the check is redundant. So one piece I would like to verify on this is if this works for ia64. Technically it was using a different approach to get the node ID, but it seems to have the node ID also encoded into the memblock. So I am assuming this is okay, but would like to get confirmation on that. On my x86_64 test system with 384GB of memory per node I saw a reduction in initialization time from 2.80s to 1.85s as a result of this patch.
