Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: fix set pageblock migratetype in deferred struct page
 init

Fixes: ac5d2539b238 ("mm: meminit: reduce number of times pageblocks are set during struct page init")
and stable 4.2+

on x86_64 MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is usually 4M, and a pageblock is usually 2M,
so we only set one pageblock's migratetype in deferred_free_range() if pfn
is aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. That means it causes uninitialized migratetype
blocks, you can see from "cat /proc/pagetypeinfo", almost half blocks are
Unmovable.

Also we missed to free the last block in deferred_init_memmap(), it causes
memory leak.
