Subject: [PATCH 3/9] mm, page_alloc: remove setup_pageset()

We initialize boot-time pagesets with setup_pageset(), which sets high and
batch values that effectively disable pcplists.

We can remove this wrapper if we just set these values for all pagesets in
pageset_init(). Non-boot pagesets then subsequently update them to the proper
values.

No functional change.
