During KHO restoration, kho_preserved_memory_reserve() writes metadata for each preserved memory region. However, if the struct page has not been initialized, this write targets uninitialized memory, potentially leading to errors like: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ... Fix this by introducing kho_get_preserved_page(), which ensures all struct pages in a preserved region are initialized by calling init_deferred_page() which is a no-op when the struct page is already initialized.
