mm, mempolicy: don't check cpuset seqlock where it doesn't matter

Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking
task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced
with a cpuset update.

This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's
which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back
to the wrappers to detect the race at that level.

Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we
can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent
further wrong impression that it can actually help.
