From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time
In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot
time. With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem() will only be used
by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time, so mark it as __init. Other
callers of __free_pages_bootmem() have been converted to use
free_reserved_page(), which handles totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages
in a safer way.
This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should
increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing
reserved pages.
And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in
put_page_bootmem(). This greatly simplifies the locking rules.
