As a result of bisecting the v4.10..v4.11 commit range, it was
determined that commits [1] and [2] are both responsible of a ~170ms
early startup improvement on Rcar-H3-ES20 arm64 platform.
Since Rcar Gen3 family is not NUMA, we don't define CONFIG_NUMA in the
rcar3 defconfig, but this is how the boot time improvement is lost.
Make optimization [2] available on arm64 UMA systems and reduce the
time spent in memmap_init_zone() from 201ms to 34ms. Testing this
change on Apollo Lake SoC, boot time didn't change.
[1] commit 0f84832fb8f9 ("arm64: defconfig: Enable NUMA and NUMA_BALANCING")
[2] commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns where possible")
[3] 201ms spent in memmap_init_zone() on H3ULCB before this patch (NUMA not set)
