This removes the kernel call to
cudf::valid_ifto generate nullmask/null count during the computation of groupby aggregationMERGE_M2. Such null count is unnecessary as the output is already makes sense without nulls: if the input values of a group are all nulls, its output will have count valid field is0and that is enough for all further computation, no need to know the null count as well as the null mask for other output fields (avgandm2).
