Subject: [PATCH] mm: move page_ext_init after all struct pages are initialized

When DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, just a subset of memmap at boot
are initialized, then the rest are initialized in parallel by starting one-off
"pgdatinitX" kernel thread for each node X.

If page_ext_init is called before it, some pages will not have valid extension,
so move page_ext_init() after it.
