[PATCH 1/3] mm, meminit: replace rwsem with completion

[Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>]

From: Nicolai Stange <nicstange@gmail.com>

Commit 0e1cc95b4cc7 ("mm: meminit: finish initialisation of struct pages
before basic setup") introduced a rwsem to signal completion of the
initialization workers.

Lockdep complains about possible recursive locking:
  =============================================
  [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
  4.1.0-12802-g1dc51b8 #3 Not tainted
  ---------------------------------------------
  swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:
  (pgdat_init_rwsem){++++.+},
    at: [<ffffffff8424c7fb>] page_alloc_init_late+0xc7/0xe6

  but task is already holding lock:
  (pgdat_init_rwsem){++++.+},
    at: [<ffffffff8424c772>] page_alloc_init_late+0x3e/0xe6

Replace the rwsem by a completion together with an atomic
"outstanding work counter".
