Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm/mm_init: deferred_init_memmap: use a job per zone

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@...nel.org>

deferred_init_memmap() loops over free memory ranges and creates a
padata_mt_job for every free range that intersects with the zone being
initialized.

padata_do_multithreaded() then splits every such range to several chunks
and runs a thread that initializes struct pages in that chunk using
deferred_init_memmap_chunk(). The number of threads is limited by amount of
the CPUs on the node (or 1 for memoryless nodes).

Looping through free memory ranges is then repeated in
deferred_init_memmap_chunk() first to find the first range that should be
initialized and then to traverse the ranges until the end of the chunk is
reached.

Remove the loop over free memory regions in deferred_init_memmap() and pass
the entire zone to padata_do_multithreaded() so that it will be divided to
several chunks by the parallelization code.
