[patch 02/15] mm/mempolicy: remove redundant check in get_nodes

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

From: Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>
Subject: mm/mempolicy: remove redundant check in get_nodes

We have already checked whether maxnode is a page worth of bits, by:
    maxnode > PAGE_SIZE*BITS_PER_BYTE

So no need to check it once more.
