[PATCH 3/4] mm, page_alloc: move might_sleep_if check to the allocator slowpath -revert

[Mel Gorman]

Vlastimil Babka pointed out that a patch weakens a zone_reclaim test
which while "safe" defeats the purposes of the debugging check. As most
configurations eliminate this check anyway, I thought it was better to
simply revert the patch instead of adding a second check in zone_reclaim.

This is a revert of the mmotm patch
mm-page_alloc-move-might_sleep_if-check-to-the-allocator-slowpath.patch .
