mm, memory_hotplug: fix memmap initialization
Bharata has noticed that onlining a newly added memory doesn't increase
the total memory, pointing to commit f7f99100d8d9 ("mm: stop zeroing
memory during allocation in vmemmap") as a culprit. This commit has
changed the way how the memory for memmaps is initialized and moves it
from the allocation time to the initialization time. This works
properly for the early memmap init path.
It doesn't work for the memory hotplug though because we need to mark
page as reserved when the sparsemem section is created and later
initialize it completely during onlining. memmap_init_zone is called in
the early stage of onlining. With the current code it calls
__init_single_page and as such it clears up the whole stage and
therefore online_pages_range skips those pages.
Fix this by skipping mm_zero_struct_page in __init_single_page for
memory hotplug path. This is quite uggly but unifying both early init
and memory hotplug init paths is a large project. Make sure we plug the
regression at least.
