Hua Su 98b7beba1e 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

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
