[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: Get rid of NODEMASK_ALLOC

[Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de>]

NODEMASK_ALLOC is used to allocate a nodemask bitmap, ant it does it by
first determining whether it should be allocated in the stack or dinamically
depending on NODES_SHIFT.
Right now, it goes the dynamic path whenever the nodemask_t is above 32
bytes.

Although we could bump it to a reasonable value, the largest a nodemask_t
can get is 128 bytes, so since __nr_hugepages_store_common is called from
a rather shore stack we can just get rid of the NODEMASK_ALLOC call here.

This reduces some code churn and complexity.
