[PATCH 5/5] mm: compaction: drop redundant watermark check in compaction_zonelist_suitable()

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

The watermark check in compaction_zonelist_suitable(), called from
should_compact_retry(), is sandwiched between two watermark checks
already: before, there are freelist attempts as part of direct reclaim
and direct compaction; after, there is a last-minute freelist attempt
in __alloc_pages_may_oom().

The check in compaction_zonelist_suitable() isn't necessary. Kill it.
