mm: always initialise folio->_deferred_list
Patch series "Various significant MM patches". These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really an overarching theme to connect them. The big effects of this patch series are: - folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a page reference - We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags - We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount() This patch (of 9): For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page is not part of a deferred list. We recently found this useful to rule out a source of corruption.
