mm/page_alloc: drop pr_info_ratelimited() in alloc_contig_range()
The information that some PFNs are busy is: a) not helpful for ordinary users: we don't even know *who* called alloc_contig_range(). This is certainly not worth a pr_info.*(). b) not really helpful for debugging: we don't have any details *why* these PFNs are busy, and that is what we usually care about. c) not complete: there are other cases where we fail alloc_contig_range() using different paths that are not getting recorded. For example, we reach this path once we succeeded in isolating pageblocks, but failed to migrate some pages - which can happen easily on ZONE_NORMAL (i.e., has_unmovable_pages() is racy) but also on ZONE_MOVABLE i.e., we would have to retry longer to migrate). For example via virtio-mem when unplugging memory, we can create quite some noise (especially with ZONE_NORMAL) that is not of interest to users - it's expected that some allocations may fail as memory is busy. Let's just drop that pr_info_ratelimit() and rather implement a dynamic debugging mechanism in the future that can give us a better reason why alloc_contig_range() failed on specific pages.
