cpuset: simplify cpuset_node_allowed API
Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags. If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to do. Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d8227 ("cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers think before using the function. However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these precautions are no longer necessary. So let's simplify the API back to the single check.
