Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 31/33] mm: avoid using __free_pages_bootmem() at runtime

Avoid using __free_pages_bootmem() at runtime, so we could easily
manage totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. With this change applied,
__free_pages_bootmem() is only used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at
boot time, so mark it as __init. And other callers of
__free_pages_bootmem() have been switched to free_reserved_page(),
which handles totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in a common way.

This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should
increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing
reserved pages.

And free_reserved_page() protects totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages
with managed_pages_count_lock, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in
put_page_bootmem(). This makes the locking rules much more clear.
