Subject: mm: avoid false-positive PageTail() during meminit
Since compound_head() rework we encode PageTail() into bit 0 of
page->lru.next (aka page->compound_head). We need to make sure that
page->lru is initialized before first use of compound_head() or
PageTail().
My page-flags patchset makes sure that we don't use PG_reserved on
compound pages. That means we have PageTail() check as eary as in
SetPageReserved() in reserve_bootmem_region()
Let's initialize page->lru before that to avoid false positive from
PageTail().
