Function __free_pages_core() is only used in the following two cases to
put page to buddy system:
* free bootmem
* free hot-add memory
After the above cleanup, there is no case to free page with PG_reserved
set. Let's remove the clear operation.
The page initialization time shows 6.5% faster with a 6G qemu virtual
machine.
