[PATCH 1/3] mm/mm_init.c: get the highest zone directly

[Wei Yang]

We have recorded nr_zones in pgdat, just get it directly.

[PATCH 2/3] mm/mm_init.c: use deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone() to decide loop condition

[Wei Yang]

If deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone() return true, we know it finds
some range in (spfn, epfn). Then we can use it directly for the loop
condition.

[PATCH 3/3] mm/mm_init.c: not always search next deferred_init_pfn from very beginning

[Wei Yang]

In function deferred_init_memmap(), we call
deferred_init_mem_pfn_range_in_zone() to get the next deferred_init_pfn.
But we always search it from the very beginning.

Since we save the index in i, we can leverage this to search from i next
time.

I don't think renaming this function is useful.
The comment above it, on the other hand, needs update.

Not good at the description, below is my adjustment. Does it looks good to
you?

I've slightly updated it:

/*
 * This function is meant to pre-load the iterator for the zone init from
 * a given point.
 * Specifically it walks through the ranges starting with initial index
 * passed to it until we are caught up to the first_init_pfn value and
