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.

Remove the unused parameter.
