[PATCH 17/49] mm: remove sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late()

After deferring hugetlb bootmem allocation until after free_area_init()
and checking cross-zone pages during allocation, the hugetlb_vmemmap_init_late()
function is no longer needed:

1. hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() is now called after free_area_init(), so zone
   information is available during bootmem huge page allocation.
2. During alloc_bootmem(), cross-zone pages are identified and marked with
   HUGE_BOOTMEM_ZONES_VALID flag.
3. After allocation, hugetlb_free_cross_zone_pages() frees those pages that
   intersect multiple zones.

Since cross-zone pages are already handled in the allocation path, the late-stage
validation in hugetlb_vmemmap_init_late() is redundant and can be removed.

Also, the sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late() function is now empty and unused.
Remove it to clean up the code.
