When onlining a memory block with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, it unmaps the pages
in the block from kernel, However, it does not map those pages while
offlining at the beginning. As the result, it triggers a panic below
while onlining on ppc64le as it checks if the pages are mapped before
unmapping. However, the imbalance exists for all arches where
double-unmappings could happen. Therefore, let kernel map those pages in
generic_online_page() before they have being freed into the page
allocator for the first time where it will set the page count to one.
On the other hand, it works fine during the boot, because at least for
IBM POWER8, it does,
early_setup
early_init_mmu
harsh__early_init_mmu
htab_initialize [1]
htab_bolt_mapping [2]
where it effectively map all memblock regions just like
kernel_map_linear_page(), so later mem_init() -> memblock_free_all()
will unmap them just fine without any imbalance. On other arches without
this imbalance checking, it still unmap them once at the most.
