mm/mmu_notifier: allocate mmu_notifier in advance
While allocating mmu_notifier with parameter GFP_KERNEL, swap would start
to work in case of tight available memory. Eventually, that would lead to
a deadlock while the swap deamon swaps anonymous pages. It was caused by
commit e0f3c3f78da29b ("mm/mmu_notifier: init notifier if necessary").

Simply back out the above commit, which was a small performance
optimization.
