[PATCH v7 3/3] kho: make preserved pages compatible with deferred struct page init

[Michal Clapinski <mclapinski@google.com>]

From: Evangelos Petrongonas <epetron@amazon.de>

When CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, struct page
initialization is deferred to parallel kthreads that run later
in the boot process.

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.

I think we can't initialize those struct pages in kho_restore_page.
I encountered this stack:
  page_zone(start_page)
  __pageblock_pfn_to_page
  set_zone_contiguous
  page_alloc_init_late

So, at the end of page_alloc_init_late struct pages are expected to be
already initialized. set_zone_contiguous() looks at the first and last
struct page of each pageblock in each populated zone to figure out if
the zone is contiguous. If a kho page lands on a pageblock boundary,
this will lead to access of an uninitialized struct page.
There is also page_ext_init that invokes pfn_to_nid, which calls
page_to_nid for each section-aligned page.
There might be other places that do something similar. Therefore, it's
a good idea to initialize all struct pages by the end of deferred
struct page init. That's why I'm resending Evangelos's patch.

I also tried to implement Pratyush's idea, i.e. iterate over zones,
then get node from zone. I didn't notice any performance difference
even with 8GB of kho.
