numa_nodemask_from_meminfo() generates a nodemask of nodes which have
memory according to a meminfo descriptor.
The two callsites of that function both set bits in copies of the
numa_nodes_parsed nodemask. In both cases, the information in supplied
numa_meminfo is a subset of numa_nodes_parsed. So setting those bits
again is not really necessary.
Here are the three call paths which show that the supplied numa_meminfo
argument describes memory regions in nodes which are already in
numa_nodes_parsed:
x86_numa_init()
numa_init()
Case 1:
acpi_numa_init()
acpi_parse_memory_affinity()
numa_add_memblk()
node_set(numa_nodes_parsed)
acpi_parse_slit()
acpi_numa_slit_init()
numa_set_distance()
numa_alloc_distance()
numa_nodemask_from_meminfo()
Case 2:
amd_numa_init()
numa_add_memblk()
node_set(numa_nodes_parsed)
Case 3
dummy_numa_init()
node_set(numa_nodes_parsed)
numa_add_memblk()
numa_register_memblks()
numa_nodemask_from_meminfo()
Thus, in all three cases, the respective bit in numa_nodes_parsed is
set, which means it is not necessary to set it again in a copy of
numa_nodes_parsed.
So remove that function.
