remove PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY
Grouping pages by mobility can be disabled at compile-time. This was considered undesirable by a number of people. However, in the current stack of patches, it is not a simple case of just dropping the configurable patch as it would cause merge conflicts. This patch backs out the configuration option.

- help
- The standard allocator will fragment memory over time which means
- that high order allocations will fail even if kswapd is running. If
- this option is set, the allocator will try and group page types
- based on their ability to migrate or reclaim. This is a best effort
- attempt at lowering fragmentation which a few workloads care about.
- The loss is a more complex allocator that may perform slower. If
- you are interested in working with large pages, say Y and set
- /proc/sys/vm/min_free_bytes to 16374. Otherwise say N
