remove PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY
Grouping pages by mobility can be disabled at compile-time. This was
considered undesirable by a number of people. However, in the current stack of
patches, it is not a simple case of just dropping the configurable patch as it
would cause merge conflicts. This patch backs out the configuration option.
