Subject: mm/mm_init: fix uninitialized struct pages for ZONE_DEVICE
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:26:40 +0800

If DAX memory is hotplugged into an unoccupied subsection of an early
section, section_activate() reuses the unoptimized boot memmap.
However, compound_nr_pages() still assumes that vmemmap optimization is
in effect and initializes only the reduced number of struct pages. As a
result, the remaining tail struct pages are left uninitialized, which
can later lead to unexpected behavior or crashes.

Fix this by treating early sections as unoptimized when calculating how
many struct pages to initialize.
