Subject: [PATCH 06/12] x86/mm: Enable and use the arch_pgd_init_late() method

Prepare for lockless PGD init: enable the arch_pgd_init_late() callback
and add a 'careful' implementation of PGD init to it: only copy over
non-zero entries.

Since PGD entries only ever get added, this method catches any updates
to swapper_pg_dir[] that might have occured between early PGD init
and late PGD init.

Note that this only matters for code that does not use the pgd_list but
the task list to find all PGDs in the system.

Subsequent patches will convert pgd_list users to task-list iterations.

[ This adds extra overhead in that we do the PGD initialization for a
  second time - a later patch will simplify this, once we don't have
  old pgd_list users. ]
