Subject[PATCH v7 06/11] mm: zero struct pages during initialization
Date
Add struct page zeroing as a part of initialization of other fields in
__init_single_page().

This single thread performance collected on: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8895
v3 @ 2.60GHz with 1T of memory (268400646 pages in 8 nodes):

BASE FIX
sparse_init 11.244671836s 0.007199623s
zone_sizes_init 4.879775891s 8.355182299s
--------------------------
Total 16.124447727s 8.362381922s

sparse_init is where memory for struct pages is zeroed, and the zeroing
part is moved later in this patch into __init_single_page(), which is
called from zone_sizes_init().
