mm/khugepaged: remove redundant pmd_devmap() check

The pmd_devmap() check in check_pmd_state() is redundant because the only
user of pmd_devmap were device dax and fs dax. However all callers of
check_pmd_state() first call thp_vma_allowable_order() to check if the vma
should be scanned. Except when called from a page fault this always
returns 0 for dax vma's, hence we would never expect to see a pmd_devmap
entry.
