mm: deferred_init_memmap improvements

Patch series "complete deferred page initialization", v12.

SMP machines can benefit from the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT config
option, which defers initializing struct pages until all cpus have been
started so it can be done in parallel.

However, this feature is sub-optimal, because the deferred page
initialization code expects that the struct pages have already been
zeroed, and the zeroing is done early in boot with a single thread only.
Also, we access that memory and set flags before struct pages are
initialized.  All of this is fixed in this patchset.

In this work we do the following:
 - Never read access struct page until it was initialized
 - Never set any fields in struct pages before they are initialized
 - Zero struct page at the beginning of struct page initialization

This patch (of 11):

deferred_init_memmap() is called when struct pages are initialized later
in boot by slave CPUs.  This patch simplifies and optimizes this
function, and also fixes a couple issues (described below).

The main change is that now we are iterating through free memblock areas
instead of all configured memory.  Thus, we do not have to check if the
struct page has already been initialized.

=====
In deferred_init_memmap() where all deferred struct pages are
initialized we have a check like this:

  if (page->flags) {
	VM_BUG_ON(page_zone(page) != zone);
	goto free_range;
  }

This way we are checking if the current deferred page has already been
initialized.  It works, because memory for struct pages has been zeroed,
and the only way flags are not zero if it went through
__init_single_page() before.  But, once we change the current behavior
and won't zero the memory in memblock allocator, we cannot trust
anything inside "struct page"es until they are initialized.  This patch
fixes this.

The deferred_init_memmap() is re-written to loop through only free
memory ranges provided by memblock.

Note, this first issue is relevant only when the following change is
merged:

=====
This patch fixes another existing issue on systems that have holes in
zones i.e CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is defined.

In for_each_mem_pfn_range() we have code like this:

  if (!pfn_valid_within(pfn)
	goto free_range;

Note: 'page' is not set to NULL and is not incremented but 'pfn'
advances.  Thus means if deferred struct pages are enabled on systems
with these kind of holes, linux would get memory corruptions.  I have
fixed this issue by defining a new macro that performs all the necessary
operations when we free the current set of pages.
