Yes this is indeed safe. alloc_huge_page_node used to be called from
other internal hugetlb allocation layer and that allowed NUMA_NO_NODE as
well. Now it is called only from the mempolicy migration callback and
that always specifies a node and want to stick with that node.
But I have to say I really dislike the gfp semantic because it is
different from any other allocation function I can think of. It
specifies what to be added rather than what should be used.
Removing the function is ok but please use the full gfp mask instead
or if that is impractical for some reason (wich shouldn't be the case
as htlb_alloc_mask should be trivial to make static inline) make it
explicit that this is not a gfp_mask but a gfp modifier and explicitly
state which modifiers are allowed.
