mm/page_alloc: remove obsolete gfpflags_normal_context()

Browse Source 
Since commit dacb5d8875 ("tcp: fix page frag corruption on page fault"),
there's no caller of gfpflags_normal_context().  Remove it as this helper
is strictly tied to the sk page frag usage and there won't be other user
in the future.

* gfpflags_normal_context - is gfp_flags a normal sleepable context?
* @gfp_flags: gfp_flags to test
*
* Test whether @gfp_flags indicates that the allocation is from the
* %current context and allowed to sleep.
*
* An allocation being allowed to block doesn't mean it owns the %current
* context. When direct reclaim path tries to allocate memory, the
* allocation context is nested inside whatever %current was doing at the
* time of the original allocation. The nested allocation may be allowed
* to block but modifying anything %current owns can corrupt the outer
* context's expectations.
*
* %true result from this function indicates that the allocation context
* can sleep and use anything that's associated with %current.
