The patch "mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc print nodemask" implicitly sets the 
allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no 
effective mempolicy.  cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when 
cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by warn_alloc(), so setting 
the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents 
debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page 
allocator.

This provides better debugging output since 
cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.
