mm: split deferred_init_range into initializing and freeing parts

In deferred_init_range() we initialize struct pages, and also free them
to buddy allocator.  We do it in separate loops, because buddy page is
computed ahead, so we do not want to access a struct page that has not
been initialized yet.

There is still, however, a corner case where it is potentially possible
to access uninitialized struct page: this is when buddy page is from the
next memblock range.

This patch fixes this problem by splitting deferred_init_range() into
two functions: one to initialize struct pages, and another to free them.

In addition, this patch brings the following improvements:
 - Get rid of __def_free() helper function. And simplifies loop logic by
   adding a new pfn validity check function: deferred_pfn_valid().
 - Reduces number of variables that we track. So, there is a higher
   chance that we will avoid using stack to store/load variables inside
   hot loops.
 - Enables future multi-threading of these functions: do initialization
   in multiple threads, wait for all threads to finish, do freeing part
   in multithreading.

Tested on x86 with 1T of memory to make sure no regressions are
introduced.
