mm: meminit: initialise remaining struct pages in parallel with kswapd
Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment. When this patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel. This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and initialising data that is local to the CPU. The user-visible effect on large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is initialised in the kernel log. Once initialised there should be no other user-visibile effects.
