mm, page_alloc: remove redundant checks from alloc fastpath

The allocation fast path contains two similar checks for zoneref->zone
being NULL, where zoneref points either to the first zone in the
zonelist, or to the preferred zone.  These can be NULL either due to
empty zonelist, or no zone being compatible with given nodemask or
task's cpuset.

These checks are unnecessary, because the zonelist walks in
first_zones_zonelist() and get_page_from_freelist() handle a NULL
starting zoneref->zone or preferred_zoneref->zone safely.  It's safe to
fallback to __alloc_pages_slowpath() where we also have the check early
enough.
