mm, page_alloc: reduce cost of fair zone allocation policy retry

The fair zone allocation policy is not without cost but it can be
reduced slightly.  This patch removes an unnecessary local variable,
checks the likely conditions of the fair zone policy first, uses a bool
instead of a flags check and falls through when a remote node is
encountered instead of doing a full restart.  The benefit is marginal
but it's there

The benefit is marginal at best but one of the most important benefits,
avoiding a second search when falling back to another node is not
triggered by this particular test so the benefit for some corner cases
is understated.
