Pratyush Yadav (Google) 47a31168f8 mm/mm_init: don't rely on memblock to get KHO scratch migratetype
Currently struct page init via memmap_init() or deferred_init_memmap()
only queries the migrate type from KHO for each discrete memory range.
That works currently since KHO scratch memory has a different memory
type so it is always it its own region.

An upcoming patch will add support for discovering blocks of memory with
no preservations and it will mark it as MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH to allow
allocations from them. This can lead to the bootmem KHO scratch areas to
be merged into larger free ranges. This merging breaks the selection of
migrate type.

Get rid of memblock_is_kho_scratch_memory(). Instead, use
kho_scratch_overlap() to decide the migrate type of the PFN. Since
kho_scratch_migratetype() only uses KHO functions, move it to
kexec_handover.h.

Instead of calling kho_scratch_migratetype() once for each free range,
call it once for each pageblock. Update
pageblock_migratetype_init_range() and memmap_init_range() to do so.

Since the migrate type is now evaluated for each pageblock and not each
free range, drop the migratetype arguments to deferred_free_pages() and
memmap_init_zone_range() and use MIGRATE_MOVABLE directly.
