Subject: [PATCH 4.17 1/1] mm: dont do zero_resv_unavail if memmap is not allocated

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@...cle.com>

commit d1b47a7c9efcf3c3384b70f6e3c8f1423b44d8c7 upstream.

Moving zero_resv_unavail before memmap_init_zone(), caused a regression on
x86-32.

The cause is that we access struct pages before they are allocated when
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP is used.

free_area_init_nodes()
  zero_resv_unavail()
    mm_zero_struct_page(pfn_to_page(pfn)); <- struct page is not alloced
  free_area_init_node()
    if CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP
      alloc_node_mem_map()
        memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() <- struct page alloced here

On the other hand memblock_virt_alloc_node_nopanic() zeroes all the memory
that it returns, so we do not need to do zero_resv_unavail() here.
