Commit ffe55393137c ("mm/sparse: remove sparse buffer pre-allocation
mechanism") removed the only memmap_alloc() caller that requested an
allocation from an exact NUMA node. All remaining callers allow fallback
to other nodes, leaving the exact_nid argument unused.
Remove the argument from memmap_alloc(). This leaves
memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() without any in-kernel callers, so move the
applicable exact-node allocation tests to memblock_alloc_range_nid() and
remove the unused API. Also remove the exact_nid argument from the internal
allocation helper, since all of its remaining callers allow fallback.
Exact-node allocation remains a required behavior of
memblock_alloc_range_nid(). CMA uses it when reserving per-node CMA areas;
allowing fallback could leave the area's recorded nid inconsistent with
the physical location of its memory. KHO also uses it for per-node scratch
areas that must remain on the requested node. Therefore, retain coverage
of this behavior by making the applicable NUMA tests call
memblock_alloc_range_nid() directly with exact_nid set.
The tests that exercise memblock_alloc_internal() retrying below min_addr
cannot be retained unchanged. Unlike memblock_alloc_internal(),
memblock_alloc_range_nid() treats its start address as a hard boundary and
does not retry from address zero. Remove those tests along with the now
unused TEST_F_EXACT dispatch from the shared allocation tests.

Commit ffe55393137c ("mm/sparse: remove sparse buffer pre-allocation
mechanism") removed sparse_buffer_init(), which was the only caller of
memmap_alloc() that passed true for exact_nid.
All remaining callers pass false, leaving the exact-node allocation
branch unreachable. Remove the exact_nid parameter and unconditionally
use memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw().
This has no functional impact.

From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
After memmap_alloc() stopped requesting allocations from an exact NUMA
node, memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() no longer has any in-kernel users
and is being removed.
Preserve coverage of exact-node allocation by converting the applicable
NUMA tests to call memblock_alloc_range_nid() with exact_nid set. Remove
the tests that depend on memblock_alloc_internal() retrying below
min_addr, as memblock_alloc_range_nid() treats its address range as a
hard constraint.
Remove the now-unused TEST_F_EXACT support from the shared allocation
tests.

From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
memmap_alloc() was the only in-kernel caller of
memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw(). After removing its unused exact_nid
argument, the function no longer has any callers.
Remove memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() and its declaration. The remaining
callers of memblock_alloc_internal() always allow allocation to fall back
to other NUMA nodes, so remove its exact_nid argument and pass false
directly to memblock_alloc_range_nid().
