Subject: [PATCH] arm64: init: override deferred_page_init_max_threads

This was the behavior prior to making the function arch-specific with
commit ecd096506922 ("mm: make deferred init's max threads
arch-specific")

Architectures can override the generic implementation that uses only one
CPU. Setting DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and testing on a few arm64
platforms shows faster deferred_init_memmap completions:

|         | Metal, 32GB | VM, 36GB     | VM, 58GB        | Metal, 128GB |
|         | 8cpus       | 8cpus        | 8cpus           | 32cpus       |
|---------|-------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|
| threads |  ms     (%) | ms       (%) |  ms         (%) |  ms      (%) |
|---------|-------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|
| 1       | 108    (0%) | 72      (0%) | 224        (0%) | 324     (0%) |
| cpus    |  24  (-77%) | 36    (-50%) |  40      (-82%) |  56   (-82%) |
