Subject: [PATCH] mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in page_ext_init

page_ext_init() checks suitable pages with pfn_to_nid(), but pfn_to_nid()
depends on memmap which will not be setup fully until page_alloc_init_late()
is done. Use early_pfn_to_nid() instead of pfn_to_nid() so that page extension
could be still used early even though CONFIG_ DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is
enabled and catch early page allocation call sites.

Suggested by Joonsoo Kim [1], this fix basically undoes the change introduced
by commit b8f1a75d61d8405a753380c6fb17ba84a5603cd4 ("mm: call page_ext_init()
after all struct pages are initialized") and fixes the same problem with
a better approach.
