Subject: [PATCH] mm/mm_init: fix pageblock migratetype for ZONE_DEVICE
 compound pages

The memmap_init_zone_device() function only initializes the migratetype of
the first pageblock of a compound page.  If the compound page size exceeds
pageblock_nr_pages (e.g., 1GB hugepages with 2MB pageblocks), subsequent
pageblocks in the compound page remain uninitialized.

Move the migratetype initialization out of __init_zone_device_page() and
into a separate pageblock_migratetype_init_range() function.  This
iterates over the entire PFN range of the memory, ensuring that all
pageblocks are correctly initialized.

Also remove the stale confusing comment about MEMINIT_HOTPLUG above the
migratetype setting since it is an obsolete relic from commit 966cf44f637e
("mm: defer ZONE_DEVICE page initialization to the point where we init
pgmap") and no longer makes sense here.
