[PATCHv2] mm/page_alloc: Make deferred page init free pages in MAX_ORDER blocks

  Normal page init path frees pages during the boot in MAX_ORDER chunks,
but deferred page init path does it in pageblock blocks.

Change deferred page init path to work in MAX_ORDER blocks.

For cases when MAX_ORDER is larger than pageblock, set migrate type to
MIGRATE_MOVABLE for all pageblocks covered by the page.

Note: the patch depends on the new definiton of MAX_ORDER.

Looks like the problems with migratetype were why commit e780149bcd4b ("mm:
fix set pageblock migratetype in deferred struct page init") switched it
from MAX_ORDER to pageblock_order. This should work better.

But I think you'll have to rebase on mm-unstable that moved some of the code
to mm_init.c
