Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] mm: don't track number of pages during deferred initialization

Deferred page init used to report the number of pages initialized:

  node 0 initialised, 32439114 pages in 97ms

Tracking this makes the code more complicated when using multiple
threads.  Given that the statistic probably has limited value,
especially since a zone grows on demand so that the page count can vary,
just remove it.

The boot message now looks like

  node 0 deferred pages initialised in 97ms
