Prior to "mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracefully" memory hotplug used to allocate pgdat when memory has been added to a node (hotadd_init_pgdat) arch_free_nodedata has been only used in the failure path because once the pgdat is exported (to be visible by NODA_DATA(nid)) it cannot really be freed because there is no synchronization available for that. pgdat is allocated for each possible nodes now so the memory hotplug doesn't need to do the ever use arch_free_nodedata so drop it. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
