mm/bootmem_info: stop marking the pgdat as NODE_INFO

Browse source 
We removed the last user of NODE_INFO in commit 119c31caa5 ("mm/sparse:
remove !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP leftovers for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG").

But it really was never used it besides for safety-checks ever since it was
introduced in commit 0475327876 ("memory hotplug: register section/node
id to free"), where we had the comment:

	5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
	   will be able to be solved too by this.
	   (Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)

Of course, that never happened, and we are not planning on freeing the
node data (pgdat/pglist_data), during memory hotunplug.

So let's just stop marking the pgdat as NODE_INFO.
