Subject: [PATCH] memblock: uniformly initialize all reserved pages to MIGRATE_MOVABLE

Currently when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is not set, the reserved
pages are initialized to MIGRATE_MOVABLE by default in memmap_init.

Reserved memory mainly store the metadata of struct page. When
HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP_DEFAULT_ON=Y and hugepages are allocated,
the HVO will remap the vmemmap virtual address range to the page which
vmemmap_reuse is mapped to. The pages previously mapping the range will
be freed to the buddy system.

Before this patch:
when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is not set, the freed memory was
placed on the Movable list;
When CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=Y, the freed memory was placed on
the Unmovable list.

After this patch, the freed memory is placed on the Movable list
regardless of whether CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set.

Eg:
Tested on a virtual machine(1000GB):
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8358P CPU

After vm start:
echo 500000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i huge
HugePages_Total:   500000
HugePages_Free:    500000
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
Hugepagesize:       2048 kB
Hugetlb:        1024000000 kB

cat /proc/pagetypeinfo
