Prepare for lockless PGD init: enable the arch_pgd_init_late() callback
and add a 'careful' implementation of PGD init to it: only copy over
non-zero entries.
Since PGD entries only ever get added, this method catches any updates
to swapper_pg_dir[] that might have occurred between early PGD init
and late PGD init.
Note that this only matters for code that does not use the pgd_list but
the task list to find all PGDs in the system.
Subsequent patches will convert pgd_list users to task-list iterations.
[ This adds extra overhead in that we do the PGD initialization for a
second time - a later patch will simplify this, once we don't have
old pgd_list users. ]
