Revert "mm: introduce PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM, PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN"

This reverts commit eab0af9.

There is no existing user of those flags.  PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN is dangerous
because a nested allocation context can use GFP_NOFAIL which could cause
unexpected failure.  Such a code would be hard to maintain because it
could be deeper in the call chain.

PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM has been added even when it was pointed out [1] that
such a allocation contex is inherently unsafe if the context doesn't fully
control all allocations called from this context.

While PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN is not dangerous the way PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM is
it doesn't have any user and as Matthew has pointed out we are running out
of those flags so better reclaim it without any real users.
