arm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL

ARM is the only architecture that defines CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL
which in turn enables memmap_valid_within() function that is intended to
verify existence  of struct page associated with a pfn when there are holes
in the memory map.

However, the ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL also enables HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
and arch-specific pfn_valid() implementation that also deals with the holes
in the memory map.

The only two users of memmap_valid_within() call this function after
a call to pfn_valid() so the memmap_valid_within() check becomes redundant.

Remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL and memmap_valid_within() and rely
entirely on ARM's implementation of pfn_valid() that is now enabled
unconditionally.

- * pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
- * associated with it or not. This means that a struct page exists for this
- * pfn. The caller cannot assume the page is fully initialized in general.
- * Hotplugable pages might not have been onlined yet. pfn_to_online_page()
- * will ensure the struct page is fully online and initialized. Special pages
- * (e.g. ZONE_DEVICE) are never onlined and should be treated accordingly.
- *
- * In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always have valid memmap as long as
- * there is valid PFNs either side of the hole. In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed
- * that a valid section has a memmap for the entire section.
- *
- * However, an ARM, and maybe other embedded architectures in the future
- * free memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is
- * never used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
- * returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
- * check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure
- * the zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers
- * of the full memmap are extremely rare.
