Revert "mm: fix initialization of struct page for holes in memory layout"
This reverts commit d3921cb8be29ce5668c64e23ffdaeec5f8c69399. Chris Wilson reports that it causes boot problems: "We have half a dozen or so different machines in CI that are silently failing to boot, that we believe is bisected to this patch" and the CI team confirmed that a revert fixed the issues. The cause is unknown for now, so let's revert it.

- * Only struct pages that correspond to ranges defined by memblock.memory

- *
- * But, there could be struct pages that correspond to holes in
- * memblock.memory. This can happen because of the following reasons:
- * - phyiscal memory bank size is not necessarily the exact multiple of the
- * arbitrary section size
- * - early reserved memory may not be listed in memblock.memory
- * - memory layouts defined with memmap= kernel parameter may not align
- * nicely with memmap sections
+ * Only struct pages that are backed by physical memory are zeroed and
+ * initialized by going through __init_single_page(). But, there are some
+ * struct pages which are reserved in memblock allocator and their fields
+ * may be accessed (for example page_to_pfn() on some configuration accesses
+ * flags). We must explicitly initialize those struct pages.
*
- * Explicitly initialize those struct pages so that:
- * - PG_Reserved is set
- * - zone link is set accorging to the architecture constrains
- * - node is set to node id of the next populated region except for the
- * trailing hole where last node id is used
+ * This function also addresses a similar issue where struct pages are left
+ * uninitialized because the physical address range is not covered by
+ * memblock.memory or memblock.reserved. That could happen when memblock
+ * layout is manually configured via memmap=, or when the highest physical
+ * address (max_pfn) does not end on a section boundary.
