Subject: mm/hugetlb: remove obsolete bootmem cross-zone checks
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 11:59:00 +0800

Bootmem gigantic HugeTLB pages used to be validated again during
gather_bootmem_prealloc_node() and any cross-zone pages were discarded
there.

That validation is no longer needed.  Cross-zone bootmem gigantic pages
are now detected during allocation and freed before they reach the later
bootmem gathering path, so the remaining pages are already zone-valid.

Remove the obsolete cross-zone validation, invalid-page freeing, and the
associated discarded-page accounting.
