Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] kernel/fork.c: get totalram_pages from memblock to calculate max_threads

Since we plan to move the accounting into __free_pages_core(),
totalram_pages may not represent the total usable pages on system
at this point when defer_init is enabled.

Instead we can get the total estimated pages from memblock directly.
