Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm: microoptimize zonelist operations

The function next_zones_zonelist() returns zoneref pointer, as well as zone
pointer via extra parameter. Since the latter can be trivially obtained by
dereferencing the former, the overhead of the extra parameter is unjustified.

This patch thus removes the zone parameter from next_zones_zonelist(). Both
callers happen to be in the same header file, so it's simple to add the
zoneref dereference inline. We save some bytes of code size.
