mm, page_alloc: remove fair zone allocation policy
The fair zone allocation policy interleaves allocation requests between zones to avoid an age inversion problem whereby new pages are reclaimed to balance a zone. Reclaim is now node-based so this should no longer be an issue and the fair zone allocation policy is not free. This patch removes it.
