Subject: [PATCH v1 0/1] split deferred_init_range into initializing and freeing parts

As discussed last week with Michal Hocko, I am sending this as a separate
patch:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1528267.html

This patch farther improves deferred page initialization by enabling future
mult-threading, covering some corner cases, and simplifies the logic and
modularity.

Tested with qemu, and on bare metal with kexec, and regular reboots.
