[v5 05/15] mm: don't accessed uninitialized struct pages

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.

This patch defines a new accessor memblock_get_reserved_pfn_range()
which returns successive ranges of reserved PFNs.  deferred_init_memmap()
calls it to determine if a PFN and its struct page has already been
initialized.
