Please be explicit that this is possible only because we discard
memblock data later after 3010f876500f ("mm: discard memblock data
later"). Also be more explicit how the new code works.
I like how the resulting code is more compact and smaller.
for_each_free_mem_range also looks more appropriate but I really detest
the DEFERRED_FREE thingy. Maybe we can handle all that in a single goto
section. I know this is not an art but manipulating variables from
macros is more error prone and much more ugly IMHO.

please do not use macros. Btw. this deserves its own fix. I suspect that
no CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE arch enables DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT but
purely from the review point of view it should be its own patch.
