memmap_init_range() would set page count of all pages, but the free pages count would be reset in __free_pages_core(). These two are opposite operations. It's unnecessary and time-consuming when it's in MEMINIT_EARLY context. Set page count and mark page reserved in reserve_bootmem_region when in MEMINIT_EARLY context, and change the context from MEMINIT_LATE to MEMINIT_EARLY in __free_pages_memory. At the same time, the init list head in reserve_bootmem_region isn't need. As it already done in __init_single_page.
