Normal page init path frees pages during the boot in MAX_ORDER chunks,

Change deferred page init path to work in MAX_ORDER blocks.

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

    mm: enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER
Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >=
    MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases:
1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order
       pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work.

    ...

How should it still happen?
