mm/page_alloc: remove unused fpi_flags in free_pages_prepare()

Patch series "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction", v7.

This patchset enables >0 order folio memory compaction, which is one of
the prerequisitions for large folio support[1].

I am aware of that split free pages is necessary for folio migration in
compaction, since if >0 order free pages are never split and no order-0
free page is scanned, compaction will end prematurely due to migration
returns -ENOMEM.  Free page split becomes a must instead of an
optimization.

lkp ncompare results (on a 8-CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @2.20GHz) 16G VM)
for default LRU (-no-mglru) and CONFIG_LRU_GEN are shown at the bottom,
copied from V3[4].  In sum, most of vm-scalability applications do not see
performance change, and the others see ~4% to ~26% performance boost under
default LRU and ~2% to ~6% performance boost under CONFIG_LRU_GEN.

Overview
===

To support >0 order folio compaction, the patchset changes how free pages
used for migration are kept during compaction.  Free pages used to be
split into order-0 pages that are post allocation processed (i.e.,
PageBuddy flag cleared, page order stored in page->private is zeroed, and
page reference is set to 1).  Now all free pages are kept in a
NR_PAGE_ORDER array of page lists based on their order without post
allocation process.  When migrate_pages() asks for a new page, one of the
free pages, based on the requested page order, is then processed and given
out.  And THP <2MB would need this feature.

This patch (of 4):

Commit 0a54864f8dfb ("kasan: remove PG_skip_kasan_poison flag") removes
the use of fpi_flags in should_skip_kasan_poison() and fpi_flags is only
passed to should_skip_kasan_poison() in free_pages_prepare().  Remove the
unused parameter.
