mm/mm_init: defer sparse_init() until after zone initialization

Browse source

free_area_init() is responsible for initializing pgdat and zone state. 
Calling sparse_init() from there mixes in later vmemmap and struct page
setup, which makes the initialization flow less clear.

Defer sparse_init(), sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late(), and memmap_init()
until after free_area_init() completes, when zone initialization is fully
done.  This keeps free_area_init() focused on zone setup and ensures that
sparse_init() runs with the relevant zone state already available.

This is also a prerequisite for later hugetlb vmemmap changes that need
zone information during early sparse vmemmap setup.
