mm, page_alloc: drop should_suppress_show_mem
should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of show_mem on large NUMA systems. Things have changed since then though. Namely c78e93630d15 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably. Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats. Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially interesting information about allocation failures. We have seen a bug report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is only kernel: [2032243.696888] qlge 0000:8b:00.1 ql1: Could not get a page chunk, i=8, clean_idx =200 . kernel: [2032243.710725] swapper/7: page allocation failure: order:1, mode:0x1084120(GFP_ATOMIC|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_COMP) without an additional information for debugging. It would be great to see the state of the page allocator at the moment.
