mm/mm_init.c: remove meaningless calculation of zone->managed_pages in free_area_init_core()
Currently, in free_area_init_core(), when initialize zone's field, a rough
value is set to zone->managed_pages. That value is calculated by
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages).
In the meantime, add the value to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages which
represent all free pages of system (only low memory or including HIGHMEM
memory separately). Both of them are gonna be used in
alloc_large_system_hash().
However, the rough calculation and setting of zone->managed_pages is
meaningless because
a) memmap pages are allocated on units of node in sparse_init() or
alloc_node_mem_map(pgdat); The simple (zone->present_pages -
memmap_pages) is too rough to make sense for zone;
b) the set zone->managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset with
acutal value in mem_init() via memblock_free_all(). Before the
resetting, no buddy allocation request is issued.
Here, remove the meaningless and complicated calculation of
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages), directly set zone->managed_pages as
zone->present_pages for now. It will be adjusted in mem_init().
And also remove the assignment of nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages in
free_area_init_core(). Instead, call the newly added
calc_nr_kernel_pages() to count up all free but not reserved memory in
memblock and assign to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages. The counting
excludes memmap_pages, and other kernel used data, which is more accurate
than old way and simpler, and can also cover the ppc required
arch_reserved_kernel_pages() case.
And also clean up the outdated code comment above free_area_init_core().
And free_area_init_core() is easy to understand now, no need to add words
to explain.
