    We don't need to check whether the node is memoryless numa node before
    calling allocator interface. SLUB(and SLAB,SLOB) relies on the page
    allocator to pick a node. Page allocator should deal with memoryless
    nodes just fine. It has zonelists constructed for each possible nodes.
    And it will automatically fall back into a node which is closest to the
    requested node. As long as __GFP_THISNODE is not enforced of course.
    
    The code comments of kmem_cache_alloc_node() of SLAB also showed this:
     * Fallback to other node is possible if __GFP_THISNODE is not set.
    
    blk-mq code doesn't set __GFP_THISNODE, so we can remove the calling
    of local_memory_node().
