padata will soon divide up pfn ranges between threads when parallelizing
deferred init, and deferred_init_maxorder() complicates that by using an
opaque index in addition to start and end pfns. Move the index outside
the function to make splitting the job easier, and simplify the code
while at it.
deferred_init_maxorder() now always iterates within a single pfn range
instead of potentially multiple ranges, and advances start_pfn to the
end of that range instead of the max-order block so partial pfn ranges
in the block aren't skipped in a later iteration. The section alignment
check in deferred_grow_zone() is removed as well since this alignment is
no longer guaranteed. It's not clear what value the alignment provided
originally.
