Subject: [PATCH] mm,x86: remove debug_pagealloc_enabled

When (no)bootmem finish operation, it pass pages to buddy allocator.
Since debug_pagealloc_enabled is not set, we will do not protect pages,
what is not what we want with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y.

To fix remove debug_pagealloc_enabled. That variable was introduced by
commit 12d6f21e "x86: do not PSE on CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y" to get
more CPA (change page attribude) code testing. But currently we have
CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG, which test CPA.
