[RFC PATCH] mm/page_alloc.c: Micro-optimisation Remove unnecessary branch

[mateusznosek0@gmail.com]

From: Mateusz Nosek <mateusznosek0@gmail.com>

Previously if branch condition was false, the assignment was not executed.
The assignment can be safely executed even when the condition is false and
it is not incorrect as it assigns the value of 'nodemask' to 'ac.nodemask'
which already has the same value.

So as the assignment can be executed unconditionally, the branch can be
removed.
