[PATCH] Remove old node based policy interface from mempolicy.c

mempolicy.c contains provisional interface for huge page allocation based on
node numbers.  This is in use in SLES9 but was never used (AFAIK) in upstream
versions of Linux.

Huge page allocations now use zonelists to figure out where to allocate pages.
 The use of zonelists allows us to find the closest hugepage which was the
consideration of the NUMA distance for huge page allocations.

Remove the obsolete functions.
