mm: remove node_start_pfn checking in new WARN_ON for now

Browse Source 
Borislav Petkov reports that the new warning added in commit
88fdf75d1b ("mm: warn if pg_data_t isn't initialized with zero")
triggers for him, and it is the node_start_pfn field that has already
been initialized once.

The call trace looks like this:

  x86_64_start_kernel ->
    x86_64_start_reservations ->
    start_kernel ->
    setup_arch ->
    paging_init ->
    zone_sizes_init ->
    free_area_init_nodes ->
    free_area_init_node

and (with the warning replaced by debug output), Borislav sees

  On node 0 totalpages: 4193848
    DMA zone: 64 pages used for memmap
    DMA zone: 6 pages reserved
    DMA zone: 3890 pages, LIFO batch:0
    DMA32 zone: 16320 pages used for memmap

    Normal zone: 52736 pages used for memmap

  On node 2 totalpages: 4194304
    Normal zone: 65536 pages used for memmap
    Normal zone: 4128768 pages, LIFO batch:31

  On node 3 totalpages: 4194304
    Normal zone: 65536 pages used for memmap
    Normal zone: 4128768 pages, LIFO batch:31

so remove the bogus warning for now to avoid annoying people.  Minchan
Kim is looking at it.
