Subject: [PATCH] mm: make some vars and functions static or __init

From: "liuting.0x7c00" <liuting.0x7c00@...edance.com>

"page_idle_ops" as a global var, but its scope of use within this
document. So it should be static.
"page_ext_ops" is a var used in the kernel initial phase. And other
functions are aslo used in the kernel initial phase. So they should be
__init or __initdata to reclaim memory.
